cheapest breeds of pedigree dog and cat in the uk?

and how much do they cost?
Answers:
think the cheapest place to get em would be cat and dog homes
All pedigree dogs have breed specific rescue societies. They only require a donation, rather than a huge price tag, and very worthwhile to support the rescue organisation.
Go to your local shelter to adopt. Save a life!
It depends on lots of things especially rarity!

The cheapest way - Pick your favourite breed, Make sure it's one you can handle, then find your nearest Breed or Rescue Centre and adopt one. Most have a set donation so phone first and ask as it varies! Most will be Neutered. If not you may have to sign a promise to do it before they will let you have one so that will add to the cost but still a lot less than a breeder.

With a Cat there isn't any advantage in a Pedigree and the nearest Shelter will have plenty to chose from so pay a visit.

different breeds cost different amounts in different parts of the country. Where I live, a border collie pup will cost around 拢400, but over towards the western side of the country, they are around 拢150. GSD can cost anything from 拢150-拢600. Your question wasn't a very sensible one because the cost depends on the breed, the popularity or rarity where you live, whether the parents have had all the health tests or whether it is just a back yard breeder who doesn't bother,whether they are KC registered or not and sometimes even the colour of the particular pups within the breed will make a difference, some colours being more rare are more expensive.For instance, in Cavalier king charles spaniels, ruby or black and tan seem to be more expensive that the more common blenheim or tri coloured. In siamese cats, red torti are more expensive than seal point.
There is no one answer to your question.
We got our pedigree persian colourpoint cat from the RSPCA shelter. Occasionally they will get pedigree animals, but will not normally have the pedigree documents.

I think all rescue cats and dogs should be given homes first, they sometimes struggle with a poor life and deserve a good home. Don't get hung up on a pedigree - go and look at some rescue ones. Also, non-pedigrees are often more robust, live longer and have fewer illnesses and genetic conditions.

Two of the prettiest and most loving of the many cats I have had were common moggies!
