As some of you have probably noticed, I'm doing a bit of research into getting my next dog... who will either be a Toller or an Aussie, although leaning more towards an Aussie again after a conversation with Toller_08 and realizing they might indeed be the better fit.
But anyways, I would likely be going with a breeder in Ontario and at this point, I will likely end up in Winnipeg if all the stars align with grad school. So this means I'll either be flying the puppy to me, or I will go pick it up if I am able to. I'm really hoping I'll be able to drive out and pick up the puppy myself (it'll be around a 23 hour drive) but flying the puppy out by plane is my "worst case" scenario.
I couldn't find any exact prices in my Google search, so I was wondering if anyone has an experience or experiences that you would be willing to share with the process... as well as a price range I could expect, if you're willing to since I understand that might be something people would prefer to keep to themselves. I'm just trying to get an idea of my basic expenses such as the dog and transportation, because ideally, I'll have the money saved up well in advance.
