Title: Current Cost in Scotland
Post by: isla on November 29, 2007, 04:24:24 PM

Can anyone advise as to the average cost of a pup in Scotland at the moment. I am going to ask my breeder next time I speak to her but I must admit I hate talking ££.

I had thought about £550 but I could be well off the mark. Its just dawned on me that Christmas is coming and I may not have put enough aside for my new arrival...eeek!

Can anyone tell me if I have to stay in all December and save my pennies???

Think it depends on breeders etc But i think you should be Ok with what you thought anywhere from £450 to £600  ;)


So depends on when new arrival comes as to how much staying in you do :)

Thanks

Jem was £450 in April 2005. Pup is coming Feb 2008.

I think I should be okay. I've been saving like a mad woman since OH relented  :D Someone I know had mentioned that someone she knew was told £800  ph34r Had minor heart attack and automatically started slashing the Christmas budget (whats more imprtnat!!!).

Workers are around £400-500 at 8 weeks so I'd bung a bit more on that for a show type, I'd be thinking £500-600.
