Answer 1

This is urgent? As in, needed?

Okay, okay, you're only thinking of expenses to get the dog.

How are you going to be able to afford maintaining the dog? You'll be twelve.

Children don't need dogs. They want them. Just make sure you talk this over with your parents, decide who will pay the vet bills/how they will be paid [your parents may be willing to compensate you with, "we'll pay, you work for us." In which case, you'd better not complain while doing extra chores!] Also, work out who will be paying for dog food.

And a side note. If you're going to pay that much for a dog, I hope you plan on showing it. Any dog that costs that much had better be a quality specimen, and I don't see why you'd spend the money if you weren't going to show. ...Showing costs money too, though.

If you are to get a dog, I'd definitely go with a shelter dog. A lot less of the initial cost, and you'd be saving a pups life. A win-win situation.

Answer 2

First, DON'T get a free one in an ad in the paper. Get one at a dog shelter, because they will be spayed or neutered. Sometimes you can even find one potty trained. And they will be free of fleas and worms and all their shots will be up to date. That cost is usually in the adoption fee.

Next, go volunteer at an animal shelter before buying a dog. That will give you a clue as to how much work and time and money goes into them. That will also show your parents if you are responsible enough to have a dog, or if you'll just quit in a week or two.

Answer 3

A dog doesn't have to cost $2000 to be a good dog.  If you get one from the rescue people you will be saving a life. And will be loved very much for it.

Answer 4

$2000 is it made of gold we have a Pomeranian, a husky , and a black lab and they were all free just keep a wacth in local papers and check animal shelters( in some shelters you can tell them what breed you are looking for and they will call when one comes in) they are cheaper and need just as much love as you can give them

Answer 5

Why do you want a dog that costs $2000?  Go to a shelter where you can adapt a dog for about $100 or so.  There are many dogs in the shelter that need our love instead giving a breeder your hard earned money.

I think mixed breeds are cutter anyway. :-)

Answer 6

NEVER buy a PUPPY younger then 8WEEK old!

They need to remain with the litter until that age to develope proper behavioural and socialiation skills

1. NEVER BUY A PUPPY just LOOKS, colour, looks, fur type alone-NO INDICATION OF DOGS TEMPERMENT!

2. Consider your lifestyle-

4. Are you out more then 8hours a day

5. Consider your energy requirements, Size, Grooming.

6. Don't just buy because someone says this is the dog for you, people particular on yahoo answer will give you there particular favourite breed& what suits them, not what actually suit you.

7. Read all you can-THERE are alot of false information on the web and in books about different dog breed.

8 DON'T TRUST THOSE DOG BREED SELECTORS-MOST OF THE RESULTS ARE INCORRECT. Ex i search large breed dogs, and the Pomeranian came up, which of cause is a toy dog breed!!

9. NEVER BUY FROM A PETSTORE, BACKYARD BREEDER, PUPPY MILL OR NEWSPAPER, DON'T BUY FROM NEXT DAY PETS OR DOG BREED INFO, RESCUE AN ADULT DOG OR SHELTER PUPPY!

Buying or adopting a dog SHOULD NEVER BE A RUSHED DECISION, YOU SHOULD HAVE BOTH PARENTS PERMISSION & SELECT A BREED THAT SUITS YOUR LIFESTLYE.

That very expensive dog.

A good indication of puppy mill dog is this price.

Puppy mill's 2000+

Register breeder should charge 1000+

Petstore; 500+

Shelter/Pound under 300 does vary from place to place.

Pet shops - get the facts

Why you shouldn't buy your pet from a shop

Pet shops are the leading distribution network for puppy farmers to sell their puppies to the public. Buying a pet shop puppy means you are supporting people who farm dogs for profit.

We all know the importance of choosing the right dog for your lifestyle and while pet shops present themselves as reputable, staff may not themselves know the origins of the puppies they sell. Deliveries of puppies may arrive weekly with little more than their age and breed details.

If you think your local pet shop is one of the good guys, think again. Here’s some of the double-speak they use to convince you that they in fact aren’t selling puppy mill pets.

"Our puppies only come from breeders, not puppy mills."

Anyone with two dogs can call themselves a breeder, so don't assume this means their pets don’t come from a puppy mill.

Ask to see documentation and find out the breeders location - if they won't give it to you there is no way to know if the breeder is located interstate and just farming and shipping pets for the pet shop market.

If you are able, take documentation away and do a background check on the breeder - often information on dubious breeders can be found on the internet.

"We only work with reputable breeders who we know."

A reputable breeder will not sell to a pet shop. A reputable breeder would never consider selling their puppies to someone they haven’t screened as they want to meet the people who will be adopting their puppies to make sure they are suitable. If they do sell to pet shops, then they are just looking to make money and aren't concerned about the long term welfare of their animals.

Ask - has the pet shop visited the kennels of the breeder? Often the only contact between the 'known' breeders is just that the 'product' has been delivered on time, reliably, for many years.

"We only sell the puppies of accidental litters."

Many stores help small scale puppy mills (known as backyard breeders) sell their dogs. While the concept of an 'accidental litter' seems quite sweet, these puppies are often from parents who are kept only for breeding by people who are not qualified in dog nutrition, genetics or development. Because vet care eats into the profits it is common for these dogs to receive little or no veterinary care and are not be tested for genetic diseases.

"We sell purebred labradoodles with papers."

Pugliers, spoodles, multipoos, laberadoodles etc, or as they’re commonly called 'designer dogs' are a cross of two breeds and therefore can never come from a registered breeder.

The breeder being 'registered' might just mean they licence their dogs with their local council; or are 'registered' with organisations that have have nothing to do with Canine Councils and have been created purely to help puppy millers fool the public.

Even if the puppies look cute, clean and healthy there is no guarantee that their mothers aren’t suffering as breeding dogs in cages for their entire lives.

10 REASONS TO ADOPT AN ADULT DOG

1. Have you really thought about what getting a puppy means?

• Pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot in the dark.

• Wear a sock to work that has had the toes shredded by a blender.

• Immediately upon waking, stand outside in the dark and in the rain for at least 20 minutes

saying, "Be a good puppy, go potty now - hurry up - come on, lets go!"

• Tip over a basket of clean laundry, scatter clothing all over the floor.

• Leave your underwear on the living room floor, because that's where the puppy will drag it

anyway. (Especially when you have company.)

• Jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV program and run to the door

shouting, "No no! Do that OUTSIDE!" Miss the end of the program.

• Put chocolate pudding on the carpet in the morning. Don't try to clean it up until you return

from work that evening.

• Gouge the leg of the dinning room table several times with a screwdriver - it's going to get

chewed on anyway

2. Puppies are not housebroken! Most people work during the day and are gone for 8 hours or more at a

time. Puppies need to go out on a regular schedule so they have frequent opportunities to eliminate

where you want them to. Puppies can't wait for the boss to finish his meeting or the kids to come home

from school. Adult dogs can "hold it" for longer periods, and may already be house-trained.

3. Intact Underwear. Puppies chew! You can count on at least 10 mismatched pairs of socks and a

variety of unmentionables rendered to the "rag bag" before a puppy cuts all its teeth. Shoes? yes,

puppies like to chew them also. Expect holes in your carpet (along with urine stains), backs and pages

missing from books, stuffing exposed in couches, and at least one dead remote control. No matter how

well you watch them, it will happen. This is a puppy's job! An adult dog can usually have the run of the

house without destroying it.

4. A Good Night's Sleep. A puppy can be very demanding at 2am and 4am and 6am. Puppies naturally

miss their littermates and a stuffed animal is not a substitute for puppy pile with littermates in the dark

of night. Prefer peace and quiet? An adult rescue dog usually sleeps through the night.

5. Finish the Newspaper. With a puppy loose in the house, you will NOT be able to relax when you get

home from work. Do you think kids ever really feed the dog? Clean up the messes? Walk in the pouring

rain every hour to get the dog housetrained? If so, you probably have a severe case of denial. An adult

dog will generally sit calmly beside you as your workday stress flows away and your blood pressure lowers

as you pet it.

Answer 7

i agree with the person who posted first.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU SPEND 2000 DOLLARS ON A DOG?! seriously, a lemonade stand wont make you 2000 dollars in a year.seriously, go to a shelter. most dogs that are that expensive arent what theyre cracked up to be. but, theres not much you can do besides work
