Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy comes from
A puppy from a reputable breeding kennel, properly socialized and monitored from a health standpoint costs more, but this extra cost is often justified by the quality of the start in life. Adoption can reduce the initial budget, provided there is a good assessment of the dog's temperament and health.
