Hi, we are going to see a pup from a farm with mum & dad (pup's) at the weekend. He's a chihuahua. DS is mad with excitement! Please can anyone advise on initial costs of vacc's, neutering, etc. Should we get insurance? He will have his initial vacc and a puppy pack. We're new to this. The last time I had a dog was when I was 10 and it was a very different world. The cost of the new pup is over £800 and in the 70s a collie pup from a farm down the road was £20!
