Our 8 year old Lab cost $800.00 as a puppy. His running tab is up to about $6000.00 and getting ready to go up some more. I never had a dog with so many leg problems.

Add $5000.00 for Achilles Tendon surgery last Winter. Still needs the other one done.

On Wednesday he's going in to get an injection in his elbow for arthritis. I still love him like my son though.


I would have spent the same amount of money on any of our three. I have 2 Parson Russell Terriers both 10 years old and a 4 year old Bull Mastiff. I have been lucky so far.
