I keep seeing tons of ads for people wanting free or cheap yorkies under $300! Unless it is a close family friend or relative, nobody is just going to give their baby up for free or for that cheap. If it has to be a yorkie, then they need to go to the rescue yorkies. It will not be a puppy though and may have special needs. But, they will be saving a life. They don't realize how much it costs for the yorkie parents and for the medical care it needs during its pregnancy. And the shots the puppies will need before they can go home. The cost can reach thousands of dollars. Plus, you want to make sure your baby is going to a good home and not just off the street. I know I am not one of these people that can afford $1000 for a puppy either. But, I am not asking or expecting someone to give me one for free or under $300 either. I will try to put my money aside little by little if I have to. Because not everybody deserves a dog. I cannot stand people that purchase a dog, then lose interest. And then the dog gets neglected or mistreated. Any dog is a commitment of anywhere from 10 to possibly 15 years or maybe more.
