How much to spend on poodle is pretty depends on your budget, and how good food u can provide?do u do ur grooming urself or send to groomer?treats n etc.
for my case, my boy's food RM50 for 2.5kg can last for 1-2months (now i buy bigger package which is cheaper n last me longer). treats i give everyday but little amount, maybe RM20 per month, heartgard RM10 per month, grooming RM80 every 2 months.
and dun forget when u 1st purchase them, u need playpen/cage, bowl, water bottle, comb, ear cleaner, tear cleaner, wee pad maybe are the necessary thing which may cost u maybe about RM200+. and u need to give them jab in 1st 3mths and then yearly jab.
The most important part is that u must have the time and patient to take care of them and spend time with them as poodle is an active breed.Hope it helps.
i strongly agree with sinv and as well as shayne. TIME is the most important thing. If u think u can manage your time equally, there shouldnt be a problem. All of us here is also working. Maybe u can take a day of 2 off to have some house breaking session with the puppy and spend most of your time with them after work?
Since u are so eager to get 1, try to convince ur family member that u will be fully responsible on the puppy. you can keep the puppy in your room until u fully trained him, eventually i think tht puppy will bring alot of joy to the family.
As for how much questions....it really depend on individual. As for myself, as long as i can afford to give the best for them, why not?
