Yorkies are expensive, she's absolutely right, BUT did she give them proper dental care their whole lives. Little dogs are known for having more problems with their teeth IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF. Have your Yorkie's teeth cleaned by a vet 2-3 times a year. Bounce has his done three times a year. On top of that, I brush his teeth every morning and he gets a greenie 3 times a week. It's all about proper care. If they're taken care of, it's not that bad. Teddie (my store owner's Yorkie) is 10 now I believe and he has perfect teeth b/c he gets them cleaned regularly. So it's all in how well you take care of them. Hope that helps! Don't let her scare you too much.
