| Be realistic on cost of owning a dog. e.g. A pure breed dog is about ~$1000 AUS. (non-breeding typical price)
 cost of keeping the dog. (Vet, heart worm, food is ~$2000 AUS per year)
 e..g. keeping the dog in the kernel when you are on holiday for 2 weeks can be ~$600 AUS.
 
 non-monetary cost:
 Walk the dog daily or other  day or whatever for 30min-1hr.
 time spent in training the dog.
 
 
 what you get back:
 unconditional love from you dog priceless.
