Tracy Brown Webboard User Reg: 12-20-2004 Posts: 381 Loc: Mississippi Offline	It is a expensive experience. Workingline pup, sch club , vet bill's and transport. Pup 800-1500 dollars + shipping Sch club 350 to 1000 dollars a year the nearest to me 1000 a year + 300 for 2nd dog. Vet bills Heartworm, flea and vaccines 200 to 300 dollars a year. Transportation to nearest sch club for me 250 miles round trip once a week would cost 30 dollars x 48 weeks = 1440 a year. If you have a really good dog and trainers it should take 2 to 2 1/2 years to sch 3 title your pup. If my math is correct for me 1200 pup, 2000 sch club, 2880 for gas and 500 for vet if lucky not including hip xrays (ofa) or traveling to trials. 6500 dollars. Ava 12/29/04 Loco 10/8/06

Either your dog is getting hurt an awful lot or you're really getting shafted - unless this is the price for multiple dogs. PetIDtag.com Keep ID on your pet! Profits go to rescues in NC

Living in the deep south, with the hot and wet climate heartworm preventive and flea control is a must. I use heartguard and K9 Advantix year round. Then yearly rabies vacine and checkups.

Before I get my GSD, though, I plan on doing some research into whether the Ivomec will be safe to give to him or not. PetIDtag.com Keep ID on your pet! Profits go to rescues in NC

Nancy Jocoy Webboard User Reg: 05-03-2003 Posts: 924 Loc: Offline	I think the vet estimates are pretty accurate. Hmm now for SAR folks.............of course a lot of one time and recurring purchases there: GPS, "real" radio, "family radios", camping gear out the wazoo, uniforms, liability insurance, certification classes, mapping software, emergency vet trips, gas, flashlights, batteries, more batteries, seminars, hotels, boots, snake gaiters, and replacements for the stuff lost in the woods, dog vest, life vest, lighted collars, harnesses, long lines, car fans, marine battery for car fans...........I think someone did some calcs and figured the average SAR person spends 3000-5000 per year more than they would normally spend on just having a pet.

Tracy Brown Webboard User Reg: 12-20-2004 Posts: 381 Loc: Mississippi Offline	I wish Mississippi would move to every 3 years for rabies vacine. It's still required every year. I know people who have used Ivermectin(sp)? for horses and measured it for the dogs body weight. I would rather stick to the prescribed version for dogs. I'm sure some of the more experienced schutzhund and protection trainers can tell you. We have a lot of reccurring cost. Toys,tugs,bite sleeves, covers. Ava 12/29/04 Loco 10/8/06
