Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
A declared and transparent breeding operation must provide identification, regulatory documents, information on socialization, and the parents' health results. Adoption through an association is another option, with fees generally covering part of the care already provided.

- The maintenance cost of a dog of this size must be anticipated throughout its life.
