Summit, Have you considered getting a dog through a rescue organization? My dear Chloe came from rescue group and her adoption fee was $100. I know that pups do not often show up in rescue groups, but there are advantages to adopting a little older dog. (Many are potty-trained, have been spayed/neutered, don't get up all night, known temperament, etc.) I'm concerned that some of the puppies you are finding are coming from sources that are less concerned with the health of the animal and more about profit.
