How much would you pay for a puppy/kitten, etc.?? We are looking at getting a puggle and the price of him is $400.00. Does that sound alittle steep or just about right?? Just wondering..TIA :D

actually that seems like a good price for a puggle...they go anywhere from $300 - $800...i would just say be careful who you buy it from...do they offer a health guarantee? does the puppy have it's shots? you know that sort of stuff...
i spent $1500 on my english bulldog which is actually very cheap for the breed.

personally, i've only adopted one cat. but i've heard of some crazy prices for dogs. My ex paid over a grand for his pure-bred rotweiler (sp). so i guess if you're looking for a specific kind of dog, 400 sounds right to me...

For a cat I wouldnt pay more than 100, for a dog, I mean depends on what kind. I want a dog, its like 900. I dont know if I would actually do it, but Im a big fan of the pound and adopting dogs and cats that need homes, not ones that are bread..

But 400 sounds pretty good for a dog.

I bought my Yorkie for $500, but that's actually really cheap for that kind of dog.

Our boxer was 700! The next dog we wanna get is a great dane...and when we were lookin at them...the ones my husband liked were 2000.

We bought our Boxer in Hawaii for $600 and that's incredibly cheap around here for a registered Boxer. That's the most I've ever paid for a pet though.

A cat, well I wouldn't pay much for a kitten. We adopted our cat from the humane society here and it was $55 but he came neutered, with a microchip and had his first shots.

I would pay whatever the adoption fee was. I'm not big on buying from breeders or home sellers, just because I would rather save a life in a shelter :) That does seem pretty dang spendy though - but that's just me...

Funny story....when we were looking for boxers we called a breeder and asked if she had fawn n white boxers....she sais yea...so we drove a good distance....n we get there...n she had brindle pit bulls not fawn boxers she was tryin to sell the pits as boxers. So we said no thank you! So than they were tryin to sell us a puggle...she was like they jus look like boxers...we said nope..they are cute jus no boxer. Beagle n pug lol that deff doesnt equal a boxer They were than like we can put u on a list when we have another litter ... we said no thanks lol.... they were a big breeder...sorta like a puppy mill...:( But yea after searchin we finally got our Bub!!:D

That sounds about right from what i've seen on prices of dogs. I'd go for it

i'd say that's a good price. my Buddy was a rescue for $120 (which daddy paid for :D ) but nicole and i were looking at puppies a week or two ago and a 4 month old cocker spaniel was a grand, and a 2 month (or so) old english bull dog was 3 grand!

I am all about shelter animals and I wouldnt pay that much for an animal when there are soooo many homeless ones...a puggle? What mix is that? a poodle and beagle?

I work at PETsMART and we do adoptions on the weekends, so you wouldnt pay much if anything :)

Thanks for the input ladies..I'm all about adopting animals from shelters also but the breed of dog we want is pretty tough to find in one..KWIM!!

Oh, and a puggle is a mix between a beagle and a pug;) :D

I paid $450 for a pure bred American Bulldog once. Not to sound mean, but he was the stupidest dog I've ever owned. I ended up giving him to my bestfriend at the time.

The dog we have now, we paid $100 for...but that was his adoption fee since we got him at a shelter.

I think $400 is an average fee for a purebred dog, depending on the breed.

You'd probably be better off looking to find one at a shelter...so many animals need to be rescued.

800 each - 900. I've paid that before.

In the past I had always gotten pets from a shelter, but we did get our dog Bruce from a breeder and we paid 600.00 for him. We got a pretty good deal though, because she was getting ready to go on vacation and didn't want to have to pay someone to look after the puppies while she was gone...she normally charged between 800-1000.
