So you're getting a "show dog" -- are you going to show in AKC?
Entry fees are usually right around $20-$30 PER day. So, if you're going to a weekend show (Fri, Sat, Sun) you're going to be paying anywhere from $60 to $90.
Puppies themselves are usually right around $1000, especially for a small breed.
If you "can't afford" Alaska's tumors, then you can't even consider another dog.
Kids today disgust me. Pets are NOT disposable. Don't you have two other "show dogs" that you co-own??
There is no way you'd be able to keep a terrier or a long haired dog in correct show coat.
I would recommend something like a Pug. They're *usually* pretty easy, and if you're truly interested I can direct you to someone who is very IN pugs.





Why does this have to be such a big deal when we're not even getting a dog right after Alaska? JEEEESH. Besides, Alaska has those kinds of tumors that aren't canserous and just keep coming back. Can't you guys just understand for once?
