How can something so cute not be in high demand? (Basset Hound)
Pet-ownership can be expensive. With the purchase of all the items dogs need such as beds, toys, crates, treats, food, etc., combined with the regular veterinary appointments and trips to the groomers, owning dogs gets to be expensive. If you aren’t particular about what kind of dog breed to get, here is a list of the best puppy-deals you can find on the market.
Cheapest dog breeds:
Don’t let the price tags fool you; there are plenty of world-class winners in this list.

If cheap is what you are looking for, dog adoption might be the right solution.
