Upkeep of the dogThe upkeep of a dog amounts to SFr. 50 to SFr. 100 a month (food, veterinary expenses, tax). The purchase of a dog in France costs between SFr. 450 and SFr. 650 (for a dog without pedigree). In summer, the dog can certainly remain outside in all weathers. In winter, it can be put in the stable with the sheep.
