It all depends on where your puppy comes from
To adopt under good conditions, it is better to favor a serious breeder, transparent about health and socialization. Other channels may seem cheaper at first, but more often expose you to health or behavioral risks.

FAQ
Your questions about price
Answers to common questions from prospective owners.
The differences mainly come from health tests, the quality of socialization, the breeder's reputation, the pedigree, and sometimes the rarity of certain lines or colors.
Not necessarily. A very low price can hide the absence of screenings, insufficient socialization, or unsatisfactory breeding conditions, with a risk of higher subsequent costs.
