Any dog owner should expect to pay for a quality, food, toys, kennel, training, vet bills. My estimate is more like this:

Vet bills $50 (Assumes dog has one major illness every 5 years costing $1,000 plus routine visits.)
Food $50
Training, toys, kennel cost when you go on vacations $50

I personally spend a lot more than this, I think this is about as low as you can really expect. Vizslas chew things up and can also get injured in the field. My Vizsla has had his stomach pumped 6 times and he is only 5 years old. He has been bitten by another dog (needed antibiotics), had to be neutered, had a growth removed, got an infected wound, etc. etc. Vet bills can be SUBSTANTIAL. Do not get a ANY dog unless you can afford $150-250 a month to take care of it. It is a BIG responsibility.
