Welcome,
I was in the same boat when I got my first baby. There was no way my husband was going to let me spend $2000 on a puppy.
But we ended up meeting the most AMAZING breeder. Our first dog from her was a 2 year old when we got her. The dog HATED being shown and they had bred her once but didn't want to keep her in their breeding program. So they were looking for a good pet home for her.
The upside: I got an amazingly trained and HEALTHY yorkie AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH POTTY TRAINING. Oh yes, and now I am close with my breeder, so I got a good friend out of the deal too. |
