It is a lot easier to come up with $200-500 for an emergency trip to the vet's office than it is to come up with $1500 to purchase a furbaby.
I personally have been fortunate enough that I have bought from breeders who were willing to let me make small monthly payments to have a puppy paid off by time for it to leave its mom. They understood that most people don't have that kind of money, but should not be denied owning a Yorkie and giving it a great home due to financial status. ( A yorkie living in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with a small fenced in yard can have a better life if its owners love and care for it than a yorkie living in a mansion with an owner who only bought one for the trend of it....)
I have 2 yorkies (I saved for one and the other was a gift) and I would sell whatever it took to provide care for them if an emergency came up. Luckily, yorkies sell for $500-800 around here, not $1000-1500. If they did, I would not be able to afford one unless a sympathetic breeder worked with me on payments. |
