I know it seems like a lot of money. There was a time I thought I would never pay that for a pet. But I paid $1200 for Ben and $1500 for Sadie. They are worth so much more. Think of all the love and enjoyment they bring!
I tell myself that sale price is just the tip of the ice berg. Folks have to make sure they can afford the vet bills, have money stashed away for emergencies and the spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, well puppy check ups, licenses, registration, all the misc. accessories, quality pet food, treats, Heart worm meds, flea and tick meds, grooming tools and supplies for the daily grooming, shampoos, conditioners, detangler, grooming spray, eye wash, ear wash, pet wipes, toothbrush and paste for dogs, nail clippers or grinders, grooming fees for the every 4-6 weeks job or equipment to learn to do it yourself, beds, blankets, toys, harnesses, leashes, bowls, carriers, exercise pen, play yard, a gazillion pee pads, a pee pad holder, clothes if you want, books to learn about care of the breed, and the list goes on and on and on...... they are not cheap. Yorkies are high maintenance pets. But they are worth every penny and more.
Hope you find the right one for you!
