I couldn't agree more. If you can't afford the purchase price of a well bred Yorkie, you certainly can't afford to take care of him over his lifetime. The purchase price and first year expenses (spay/neuter, vaccinations, etc) are just the first of many installments.
Too many people make the mistake of buying a "bargain" puppy from a backyard breeder and end up spending a fortune in vet bills over it's lifetime.
