I like reading all these opinions- it's not a pointless discussion if everyone is being respectful- if anything it is educational and a way to learn more about other people's perspectives which is always a good thing in my mind.
I wanted to clarify that I have no problem with the amount of money yorkies can cost IN THEORY. What i mean is, if I wasn't a social worker, but instead chose a more lucrative profession and made lots of money, then I would gladly pay thousands and thousands because to me, my Tobey is priceless. Its like that mastercard commercial

But I think in a perfect world, everyone who would love a yorkie and give it a fabulous life should be able to afford one. anyway, I am also in cosmetology school full time so hopefully I might have the potential in that career to afford another yorkie someday
