*sigh* Your Dad is also going to be a problem with the cost. You have to remember that all our pets were strays or "jailhouse" rescues. :-)

I have seen them on the 'net for $800 to $1000 but those breeders aren't near us.

i live in No.VA and the breeder is in PA north of Philadelphia, she met us at a dog show in York, PA so that we could meet Loosh. My 3 kids each ponied up every dime they had to put toward the cost of the dog, as a show of good faith to xshub that they were really set on having him.

You might want to consider rescue. Sometimes dogs end up homeless, due to an owner's death for example. They are not as expensive as a puppy. Look for a link to the club rescue group in the link I posted above.

Be careful when you find pups that are less expensive, especially on the 'Net. You could be buying a dog which could cost you way more than its purchase price over its life, if it has heart disease, or needs expensive surgery to correct deformed knee caps.

here is the breeder. don't go to the website if you don't want one, because the pix of the pups on that page make you want to own about a dozen of them! if we didn't own xshub as hub and father, we would own at least one more cavalier!
