A price that seems too good to be true?
- An abnormally low price should prompt you to check the identification, the breeding conditions and the documents provided.
- For a large breed, you need to anticipate long-term maintenance costs and not only the purchase price.
- A poorly socialized puppy or one from a not very rigorous breeding operation can lead to more expenses and difficulties later on.
