I would agree with that 110%! And I DO give it a 10! LOL. I can honestly say that even though the Yorkie is my #1 favorite breed, I have never in my life owned a breed that cost me more money!
And it has nothing at all to do with what Tatum's LP surgery just cost me (and trust me....it was
ALOT) - but just in general, owning a Yorkie is very expensive....at least when there are health issues involved and constant vet visits like I have with Tatum. I have never in my life owned any other breed of dog that was at the vet so much. This breed, at least in my experience, seems to have
alot of health issues (allergies, teeth, LP, collapsed trachea, skin issues, sensitive tummies etc., etc.). Regardless though, it would NEVER stop me from owing a Yorkie - cause after all, they ARE the best
