Over the past few years, designer dogs have been taking the world by storm. Frugs, Bullmatians, and Chuskies dominate the internet – and the lock dog parks. Gone are the days where Golden Retrievers were the perfect family pets. Now, everyone wants one of these expensive four-legged companions.
But, buying one of these prized pooches isn’t cheap. Breeders charge thousands for the most sought-after combinations. They’re undeniably cute and undeniably fashionable, giving owners the best mash-up of personality traits and looks.
There’s a lot to be said for “adopt, don’t shop” but if you choose to find a local breeder, make sure you do your research to protect your own interests and that of your new best friend. Buying a pup isn’t like nabbing something from eBay, it’s a lifelong commitment – and, at these prices, an investment.
