Everyone have their ways, so I'm not saying you're wrong but just sharing my personal opinion
Probably it's because I spoiled my girl very much

I spend much in buying bed, clothes, accesorries. Treats as well I always buy the ones from japan which easily cost 10-20 a packet. And she eats salmon

Haha supplement is not needed if u really gives them good food la... salmon in fresh? Cammy takes fresh fish if my dinner hs any, either u can steam or boiled it a while... No human food or junks food for them... If u know them well, no need to use treats to train them just use their food is better. Train them especially b4 every meals that's what i do... Their food also need to grain free, i only buy those... orijen (six fish, grassland), acana (pacifica), addictions (venison and apples) and artemis are those she ate... These food they will never stop from eating cos of the stench smell because of that u can use it to train them also

I only buy chewy to help them to clean their mouth... Rarely buy cloths and accessories... Pity them also for their coat too thick, some more u ask them to wear those cloths when hot, so I only hv very minimum cloths for her...
just like my gf said too much of anything for anyone if not good, a balance diet is essential...
So from there u can calculate out how much u need to use... Food around rm70 (except those fresh food we cook for her), chewy around rm15 those are monthly and grooming about rm90 when i send them to groomer if I'm lazy to trim her myself, mostly she only see the groomer 3 month once... Others are shampoo and misc stuff which should not cost more than rm100 when u wanna buy them...

Good breeders won't have "short leg poodles" as it is incorrect according to breed standards. Poodles are supposed to have long legs and their length from point of rump to point of shoulder should be as close as possible to their height at the withers...
If you want a short legged dog, choose a breed that is supposed to have short legs (Pekingese, Dachshund), if you want a Poodle, get a poodle that is the shape of a poodle....
I think they better go thru the criteria for a poodle before u buy it...
It should have a square body look shoulder to floor vs chest to buttock, skull is roundish, mouth is not long...
Poodle is not meant to have short legs... but if you wan then u might need to confirm that it's sire and dam also have short legs... If not u never knows whwt they will be after 1yr...
