Well, sometimes breeders will break down all the costs separately. Others will just charge a flat price for the pup and you get it all included. It sounds to me, though that your pup came from a broker, so I can understand them charging for every individual thing.
off topic some:
I looked at your first thread, and the koi part is interesting. I have 16 koi, we paid $75 for all of them when they were smaller(the breeder would charge according to size and then charged a bit more for the butterfly's) They are so big now, I need to get a few moved to other ponds! Do your Koi change in color/markings as they age? I think a few of mine have. So far, we haven't had babies(they probably get eaten) maybe we could start a thread in the chat room, I know a few others here have ponds.

They definitely change as they get older .. to be honest, butterflies ate frowned upon by some .. I have a couple though.. most of my koi came from japan via a broker but were only $50-$100 as babies.. I have one I paid $600 for... bit in the world of koi shows, $600 is an entry level fish... I really do love koi... Google it and look for koi shows in your area.. they're held mostly in Tue fall but sometimes in the spring as well.. once you see a real, full sized show quality koi,, you'll never look at them the same...

The forum I go yo for koi is Koiphen.com or koibito

My wife laughs at me, talking about koi on a GSD forum and I've been talking about GSDs on the koi forum LOL
