Either way, I'm interested in what one dog costs you to maintain for a year.

I've been involved in some interesting conversations this week regarding the pro's and con's of purchasing and starting a puppy verses purchasing a started or finished dog. Looking just at the financial aspects of the question one must consider the cost of the pup, the cost of feed,vet, facility/uti...
