Complete and utter nut jobs! Glad you set matters straight with "their" dog
When I got my first Brittany it cost less and was much less of a headache to go through a breeder instead of the rescue group. Pity really. I have rarely been contacted by the breeder for any of my dogs after the first year. They kind of lose interest after that or they have another litter of pups to whelp...
About time for me to get another pup anyways... Its been three years. I have puppy fever again lol.
I wouldn't trade him for the 2K I had to put into him at this point. Here is a shot of him around last Christmas contemplating an early gift, and the other was taken 5 minutes ago.
Got my first one for $250. Second was $450. My dad was with me when I got the first one. He can negotiate a loaf of bread from a starving man.Both are spayed/neutered and I live in the middle of nowhere so vet bills are chump change compared to other places in the US. I loves the breed, if I could have gotten a rescue one for around the same amount I would have but I would have had to travel a lot father than what I had to for my two and it would have cost more...My rescue dog cost me $400 which included his first year shots, neutering, and transport from Alabama. The total time expenditure was a half-hour to fill out an application, a half-hour on the phone talking with the rescue organization (mostly b/c I had more questions for them than they did for me), and four hours driving to/from Vermont to pick him up (that was where the pick-up location was set up). Being generous, I would say total expenditure was $600. I'll admit this is one of the most expensive ways to rescue a dog.
I'd be surprised if you were able to get purebred/AKC brittany pup for anything close to this price, and I'm pretty sure they don't come neutered/spayed (an additional cost if you decided to do this).
