I hope you all know that he has no idea what it costs to raise a litter
and I hope none of you tell him! I try to keep him in the dark as to
expenses or we probably wouldn't have any dogs at all. <g>

Having had two litters of 10, back to back, (we will have the first of the
second litter go to a new home today), (and have two left from the first
litter that Tedi is keeping), I think the major cost is the expense of
paying
someone to collect and re-distribute the waste.
Dog food is fairly expensive, and shots aren't that much. Some Pepto Bismo
now and then, and a few stuffed toys, seem to be the rest. These litters
have been so healthy, there were no vet costs. So, figure a bag of dog
food a month per two puppies and assuming you find homes by ten weeks,
that
seems to be the cost.
