Morning gents. Our 5 year old Frenchie requires surgery and after doing cost analysis it works out cheaper to buy a new dog instead. But we want to make sure it comes from a reputable breeder and is less likely to require expensive vet fees in later life.
In this context can anyone advise resources where to get in touch with reputable breeders? Also recommendations for breeds - good with kids, small to medium sized dog suitable for living in apartments.
Thanks in advance.
01/04/2024 But I'll bite - after doing ''cost analysis'', are you sure a dog is the pet for you? I've heard goldfish can be long lived and don't require much expense?Quote:

I could never give up or put a dog to sleep because it was cheaper to replace it. If my dog required a long, painful course of treatment for a life limiting condition that might be different, but not what you seem to be describing.
I'd also happily sell a watch or three to fund surgery if that was required.

Aren’t April 1st “jokes” supposed to be funny?
Depends on what you see as being funny.Quote:

This thread I would rate as good, but the "Bulldog - Shitzu cross" post was real quality.

Agree on both points, I didn’t find this funny though. Horses for courses I guess?Quote:
