As for food, it depends on the brand of food. Because of all the puppy food wars going on,
I find it hard to decide. I will probably talk to the vet and breeder. I'll also consult
Peggy and/or the feeding section of the forums on gocorgi.com. It's probably one 20 pound
bag for 2 months or something. That's about 25 dollars every two months. Not too bad.
And finally, for the honorary pup himself. This, again, depends on different factors.
I know that I would love any color over none, but I really do want a red headed tri-color
or fawn colored pup. Now, well bred pups around here are usually anywhere from 300 to 600
dollars. Yikes. I have until June though, so I think I can do it! I am pretty much set on a herradura andalusion pup. Their males are 350 and can be taken home in June!
This'll be steep! But it's worth it.
So... 350 for the puppy, and 102 for supplies, and 115 for vaccines and neutering, which is
568. Then, food every so often. I think I can do it. I KNOW I CAN!
