Jeez I didn't expect to have so many replies to this thread. I thought people might've thought I was a tad weird for having a doggy bank account. How much money did everyone have put aside before they purchased there pooch?

Hi All! No doubt this question has been asked before but I cannot figure out how to return a decent search result through the search function. Im a tad computer illiterate. :p Does anyone else have a separate doggy bank account? Whats a good number money wise to work with for raising a dog? I would like to have enough put away to cover everything from the Vet Fees, Puppy School, Obedience Training, Food, Toys, Beds, Insurance, basically everything a growing dog needs. Note this money does not include the purchase price. The plan is to not even consider looking at puppies until I have enough money to cover my pooch for the first couple of years. Edit: I should mention I'm purely looking for a pet/family dog. EH
