This is a general example for ONE dog. Not all health tests are repeated but are mandatory in order to breed any dog. We spend about $10,000 on the parents before we even think about breeding. 
This does NOT include the costs for hotel, travelling and showing. Only purebred dog breeders will have these costs.
