I understand that yorkies are expensive however you can get the happiest healthiest dog in the world for a cheaper price, so honestly telling the OP that her pup will probably have health issues because she is getting for 800 bucks is just wrong. I got my registered 4 pound very healthy toy poodle puppy for only 400 dollars and she had all her shots. I also got my yorkipoo at one day shy of 7 weeks and he has been fine, no aggression issues, has been super easy to house train and doesnt have any attachment issues. If the pup is going to be super small then I recommend to keep it with its mother longer just so it can get more nurishment from the mom.
Some people on this board are very nice and offer great information, however some of them are pretty strong when it comes to offering thier opioins on certian topics and this just happens to one of them.
Good luck!!  |
Bottom line in my opinion is that no matter what you pay for a yorkie, you had better do your homework and be prepared to spend money for grooming and vetting. Some are healthier than others....and some have other issues...you just always have to have a plan.
Just buying a cheap dog and being able to afford dog food is not enough!
I definitely am a person with very strong opinions on this topic because I have seen the results of people not being able to provide proper care for their yorkies over and over and over again!
I do my level best to let people know what can happen!
