You are not going to find a good Yorkie puppy in NY for $700, so just forget about that. Then you're going to have vet bills, about $80 for shots a couple of times the first year, and $300-$500 for spaying or neutering. You also have to figure how you'll pay for anything unexpected that goes wrong. It is very expensive. You have to do careful research to find to good breeders who are being careful not to be selling sickly poorly bred dogs, and then you're still going to have to spend at least $1500 for one. It's good you're working hard for your money, don't waste it on an unsound, badly bred dog. If you're very very patient you may find one for adoption that's a little older that someone has to give up. |
