I paid a good price for Cali from a BYB and did not reearch enough, She had over 7,000 in vet bills in the first 8 months of her life. Thank God my parents and insurance helped pay some of it, She has constant allergies, MVD, had many hypoglycemic episodes and I was told she was going to be 3 lbs, not that I cared but she charged more for her than her sisters, and she is 5 lbs. But I never regretted getting her. When I got Pixie a year later, I researched and went through a very reputable long time well known breeder and got her at 13 months. I knew her adult weight, her coat type and her health history. She was expensive but no where near what I paid for Cali and her vet bills. I have learned so much on YT and hopefully know what to look for now. |
