neb:colinuu:Also I agree with another comment about pet insurance.
Another issue with that is the bigger the dog, the bigger the medical bills. Even outside of ACC-subsidised stuff I think it's still probably cheaper to get an operation done on a human than on a large dog.
Relevant: Puppy scams this Christmas: Police warn of sales for dogs that don't exist - NZ Herald
Investigation Support Unit's Constable Kylee Coubrough said the fake websites had been set up to sell puppies sight-unseen.
"At Christmas time, we sometimes think we can get good deals through online traders and it's not always the case," she said.
"Police have noticed an increase of people selling puppies which don't exist."
"They can be sought-after and popular breeds such as English bulldogs, huskies, Staffordshire bull terriers to Maltese and even toy poodles."

Next dog I get if I get one is going to be from the pound. My ex girlfriend was a dog lover through and through. She used to save dogs and kill them every day at the pound.
It absolutely broke her mental health, but really highlighted a few things for me. A lot of those animals aren't "broken" as is so commonly believed. A lot of them cost some rich person multiple thousands of dollars only to be dumped at the pound because "they won't stop pooping on the floor" or "they bark too much". A lot of the hate the pound gets is completely unjustified ramblings of those who didn't look after their animal properly.
Good luck with your dog!
