When you first get a Yorkie, there are several expenses such as, but not limited to, the following:
1. Vet check (blood work, stool sample test, etc.)
2. Puppy shots and then adult shots when the puppy turns 1 year old
3. Spaying/Neutering between 6 months to 1 year old
4. Crate (if you are going to crate train), wee wee pads, food, food and water bowls, toys, blankets, harnesses and leashes, clothes (for cold winter month) and other odds and ends
There are some more things but those are basic, general things that you will need when brining a puppy home for the first time. These things can cost anywhere from $200 - $500 or more if the dog happens to be sick (and this is NOT including the initial purchase price). Hopefully, that won't be the case if you get a pup from a reputable breeder. However, accidents happen and puppies can get into trouble easily. You both should learn dog CPR and have Nutrical (a beef flavored vitamin paste) handy in case your puppy has hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) issues.
