Fair enough. Maybe I should have left this one out. But, I do want to clear up that I'm NOT in any way referring to shelters or pounds. They are saviors. I've just seen way too many private parties selling puppies for an "adoption fee" without shots in the first place only for the new owner to have a not so healthy puppy for their great deal. Most people "endure" all the raising of puppies either because they choose to breed, or they didn't get their animal fixed in the first place. I think I'm more of the ideal that a well cared for puppy will often come to you with the first set of shots thus saving you money in the long run. And, no, I'm not saying your dog isn't worth lots of vet money because I know mine is. Just something to think about when getting yourself a new buddy.
