Let me start by saying this website is absolutely amazing!! And the community is all so nice and kind. With that being said YT I have a problem...My boyfriend and I have recently
moved into our new apartment. We have discussed getting a puppy yorkie prior to us moving in. (He prefers big dogs, so conviencing him for a yorkie was like pulling teeth!!) I
finally have found a great breeder that isn't too far from our home. I have been talking to the breeder about receiving my pup after christmas. Everything was good until my
boyfriend told me that he's having second thoughts. His reasons are because a friend of his told him that he spends approx. $200 a mnth on his girlfriends yorkie. And he was like
What if we move to where there are no pets allowed, then what. I understand about the moving part, but that's so long from now what if we decide to stay? What if we love our
Baby so much we find another pet friendly apartment. He keeps mentioning the monthly budget of a yorkie. Can you guys help me? Is getting a yorkie right now such a bad idea?
Please be honest. How do I convince him again? This is killing me. I was so excited until now ....

Ps. He just mentioned house training. He's afraid of our apartment having a doggy odor. Can you heLp?!!
