I do have to say, the licensing issue does vary state-to-state, and city/town-to area. i.e. where my parents live in Central NJ it was $120/dog, plus other associated costs/fees. Out here, a ways from the … village … of Klondike, WV, it is far less to say the least (I think it was $5 or $10). I’m sure several others also vary area-to-area, but a good comparison nonetheless (just saying, don’t expect your costs to exactly match up number-to-number with these). Plus, it varies breed-to-breed (our golden retriever had a softer bite, and we used the same $10 toys for 15 years, then got three terrier puppies … and it went up. I think they DEMOLISHED a toy every other day, I’m not talking about taking the squeak out of it, I’m talking until there was nothing left, or to quote a friend of mine “There were no survivors”.
