| I have to vent, sorry I'm so frustrated! I feel like I'm never going to get my beautiful yorkie. They're so expensive. I'd rescue, but I just can't deal with that heartache right now. Everytime I get close to the goal, something pops up that's urgent or an emergency or neccessary, or whatever. It's driving me crazy! The worst part is I feel like no one understands. I hate to vent, but I just had to let this out. Deirdre

| Awwwwww I'm sorry you are going through this! What about a younger rescue? Simon and Hallie are both rescues and have brought me nothing but joy and love (ok and a bit of patience building). You will have a baby soon when it's meant to be |

| I understand. Have you looked through the thread on how much people have paid for their yorkies. There are some on there that got some real bargains. Maybe you could find out where they got them. |

| With a rescue you usually know exactly what you are getting because they have been checked out so thoroughly. Don't really know what you mean by heartache. The Yorkies seem to be very high in California (but isn't everything). El Paso (about 12 hours from San Diego) has a very depressed economy so you can get a purebred Yorkie from $400 and up. Also remember that once you buy a Yorkie you should have at least $500 in the bank for their routine vet care. |

| Just be patient you will get your yorkie I am sure. When you do though be sure to have money set aside for the vet. When I got my dogs I took them the next day to the vet and it cost me over $200 for a puppy package for my dog's shots

| Stay away from Jeff Dane. I do not have any personal knowledge, but if you do a search on his name you will find plenty of negative comments. |

| What is your price range?? Maybe some people on here could give you some names of some breeders in your price range! I noticed a couple of people have done that already. I know it's hard to hear, but when the time is right, a yorkie fit perfectly for you will come along. GOOD LUCK!!! |

| holy crap that's so much money for a dog.. i thought only paris hilton paid that much... not saying it's neccessarily a bad thing though. if i had $1,000-2,000 i'd do it. but they're only $300-400 here. and they're pretty and well bred. dont be scared to rescue. i rescued baxxxter and he's THE BEST dog i could have asked for. no probs whatsoever. it just depends on the dog you rescue. dont be afraid to be picky. and dont be rushed! and have money saved for vet bills and such. |

Oh how funny, I was thinking the very same thing tonight.....but, let me complicate it.......I am looking for a specific yorkie....ie...female.....black and tan and.....show prospect..... So see.......I probably will never find her...... But, its ok......just remember ...when its the right puppy, it will all fall in place. Maybe you could tuck money in a box somewhere and do not touch it......keep adding to it.....and try not to use for family bills....esp if this puppy is a family purchase... Good luck, we can hang in there together....LOL | |
