I think it is better to estimate on the high end rather then low ball with dog. Every vet visit with a rottie usually costs $500 on the average... I am not joking. My rottie Cyren was spayed last year and had some xrays done on her hips and elbows... $1300 grand total. We had to put Sabre down prior to that due to cancer, it was over $600 for the house call, and for us to take him to the crematorium. Fergus our stafford sprained his front leg, it was $250 for the xrays. For my two pups now, it costs about $200 a month for food and toys.
I should be a dog walker for a living since they make some good coin. I thought about out here, but most dogs are left to roam on their own. Mine get out for two hours a day at least in the spring/summer months and an hour in the winter. Wow, I would be rich just taking care of my two if I got paid for it.
I would love to take on this boxer pup, but she would not fit into things. Cyren is where I want her for training but Fergus is a little pecker and I am still working with him... I know the energy a boxer pup has and don't feel like bringing a crate back into the house. Cyren never needed one and Fergus needed one for about three months. He is little so small his did not take up space in the house.
I have been wanting to add another dog to the house, since I really miss having three. However with the lack of work and the expense of the fish tank, I just cannot stretch things that thin until the economy improves.
I hope this cute boxer find a home, she is a sweetie.
