We have spent well over $281 for Rita in vet care, and we haven't even had her for 3 months.
And probably over $1000 from day one we have had her. If you cannot afford Alaska's health issues, than you deffinetly cannot afford a new dog, let alone a show dog, puppy, or adut.
I agree with you a 100%,In my case each and everyone of my dogs Have there own crates,When we got Maggy i was not prepared the day we got her,But i went out the next day and bought her a crate,and all the other supplies,Then Lacy came i already had her crate and supplies then came Molly,As you can see she is a much bigger dog and obviously cannot use one of my other girls crate so i had to buy all new,And My Stormy i didn't really buy him anything other than toys i had 3 crates already and Maggy,Lacy and Molly don't use there's anymore so i didn't have that expense other than vet bills which is a given as soon as you get the pup.
Now storm is no longer in a crate he is 6 months old now and is fully trained i had alot of problems potty training him because the breeders had them using a piece of plastic for there Potty.
In my opinion another pet should not even be thought of in the future unless money is no longer an issue,If Georgia cannot be looked after a show dog should not even be considerd right?
I'm in no way trying to cut anyone down a size but it bothers me alot about thinking of another pet when the ones you have are lacking the proper vet care.I have 4 dogs because i can give them the right care they need,Do you think i would have them if i couldnt..NO WAY!I think instead of worrying about another dog a show dog at that you should be getting Gerogia into the vet and trying to get her fixed.
