    • anything that considered a "cheap dog" is a poorly bred dog. If it is a well bred dog, prices will vary depending on pedigree, championship titles in the bloodline, quality, etc. A pet quality dog will obviously be less than a show quality dog, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all show dogs have all show pupppies. Out of a tested and proven bitch, if she has a litter of 8, there may be 1 or 2 show quality pups. The rest are generally considered pet quality. Even if you don't want a show dog, find a breeder that shows, so that way you know you're getting the dog from someone who really cares about the breed, and preserving and improving the standard. Pet Stores and Backyard Breeders are a big NO NO when it comes to buying a puppy. Find what kind of breed will work into your lifestyle first, then find a good breeder, then worry about the price. Don't base the purchase of a family member on price alone. Thats how so many dogs end up in shelters.

    • 1) Shelter mutts: The screwed up, on-death-row variety.2) Regular shelter mutts.3) Shelter purebreds. (Most of the time the same price as a shelter mutt).4) Rescue mutts.5) Rescue purebreds.

    • Any dog from a shelter or a rescue... oh and you can get puppies from both. However sometimes getting an older shelter dog that is already potty trained is cheaper and easier.

    • a badly bred dog.good show quality KC reg dogs do NOT COME CHEAP.if you are thinking of gettin a dog becoz its cheap. DONT. the cheap ones are usually the "short straw" of the litter. invest in a good quality puppy/dog. you will be spending 13+ years with him/her

    • If you're looking for a bargain, get a stuffed animal. The real ones cost big money if you do everything right- vet care, food, training, toys, supplies, emergencies, illnesses, grooming, pet sitting...

    • Pit bulls....puppies easy to find but poor quality 50-100 adults advertise free all over the place where I liveLabs.....puppies poor quality 50-100 adults easy to find freeBeagles...pet quality puppies free to 100 here adults easy to find freeHusky......poor quality pups can find for 50,,,can find easy 100 adults easy to find freeShepherds poor quality pups 50-150 adults free to 50 around heresad huh?

    • Mutt, mutt, mutt, mutt, muttDon't buy a cheap dog. You are buying trouble, and illness.Think about it: If you could get a Yorkie for $200 and the going price is $450, why is the dog cheaper? Is it inbred? Ill? Impossible to train? Bites? Has a defect that makes it expensive to get vet treatment for? From a puppy mill? Who knows? These things MAY even be true of an expensive dog, but far less likely, because the breeder is probably more concerned with keeping the breed up to par and preserving their reputation, and less with making a few quick bucks. If you want a cheap and wonderful dog, get a mutt! They don't have the status of a pedigreed dog but often are the best dog around. They usually have fewer health problems, and you will be saving a life if you get one from a shelter.Don't buy mutts from breeders. YOU are just encouraging them to be reckless.Spay or neuter all pets.

    • I would look to a dog rescue in your area. it may cost you $200-$250 but you could get a purebred that"s already spayed/neutered, up to date on shots and lacking a good home.

    • Over a dog's lifetime, the costs of food, veterinary care, any boarding you do, obedience classes, equipment such as crates, leads, collars, and toys, and other miscellaneous expenses will far outweigh the initial cost of the dog. Getting a sound dog in good health is cheaper in the long run than one that may be inexpensive to obtain, but costly to maintain.

    • Who cares?Think about HOW a pooch gets to be cheap to buy....Betcha it is by:(1) Starting with a too-cheap b_itch that should NOT be bred from - she may or may not have a genuine pedigree, but she is not able to gain any show ribbons, not able to gain any obedience ribbons. Hey - it COSTS to do THOSE things! And she's not good enough anyway.(2) Not bothering to do any of the health checks (xray certificates for elbows, hips patellas, spines, depending on the breed; for some breeds there are also blood tests, eye tests, DNA tests to point out whether the pooch is safe or a carrier for various genetic disorders). Hey - they're just a waste of time & money, 'coz I'm gonna breed from her regardless - gotta getta return on my "investment"!(3) Mating her to a too-cheap stud that should NOT be bred from - he may or may not have a genuine pedigree, but he is not able to gain any show ribbons, not able to gain any obedience ribbons. He won't have had any of the health tests, either. He probably lives on the "breeder"s property so that no stud fees need to be paid by the "breeder".(4) Mating her at every season so as to get the maximum return on the "investment" of obtaining her and feeding her and housing her and advertising her pups.(5) Offering no guarantee beyond what the local Puppy Lemon Law forces him /her to make.(6) Letting sick pups & dogs die, to save the expense of a vet.(7) Turning NO-ONE away who is interested in a pup or old worn-out adult, provided they have enough cash with them - time is money, so never waste time without getting paid for it.I make no pretense of being a puppy miller, so there may be other tricks-of-the-trade to keep costs down. But those are MORE than enough for my stomach.And why would you choose a breed because of its PRICE?Every breed was created to perform a function, even if modern hygiene or improved hunting weapons, etc, have made that function no longer necessary - or even legal in the case of the Bull Dogs and the Fox Hounds (in Britain, anyway) and Pit Terriers.So every SENSIBLE person chooses a breed whose original function produced the character & capabilities that suit that person's lifestyle and needs - and everyone is different in that respect.And then that SENSIBLE person spends a lot of time looking at and interacting with individuals of that breed, working out which of them are good quality, typical, etc, and which are rubbish for one reason or another. And then identifies where the quality ones came from, and where the rubbish came from (know thy enemy!)Assuming that several quality breeders are available, the SENSIBLE person then starts checking up on what test each breeder does & doesn't pay for, and what sort of written guarantee each provides, plus what price each charges for a pup especially suited for the seeker's interests, lifestyle, needs. Followed by putting in an order then, while waiting for the pup to be born & get to at least 7 weeks old, making sure that his/her own section is adequately fenced to protect the dog from strays & brats, and to ensure that it can't escape to end its life under wheels or with a bullet hole through it.As I said - who CARES what the cheapest breeds are?So far as UPKEEP goes, the cheapest pets are the tiny breeds, provided they come from responsible breeders and are properly vaccinated. Unless your area requires 3-yearly revaccinations for rabies, they will not need to see a vet between getting their 16 weeks booster shot and reaching old old age, and they need very little food. But I doubt that that's what you meant.Les P, owner of GSD_Friendly: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/GSD_Friendly"In GSDs" as of 1967

    • If you are looking to just buy a pure-bred puppy for a cheap price...you may want to get your priorites straight before owning a dog. It is not an object, it is a life that you will be responsible for for many years to come if you get a puppy.
