My daughter is under 30 and within the last got her first dog. It's a dachshund. She loves that dog with all of her life. As a family we had dogs and cats through the years but never one that she was truly responsible for. She is the sole caretaker of her dog. I can't believe the time and care she puts into her baby. She would not part with her for anything. She got her dog from a shelter but you would think this dog is the queen of the world. It is queen in her world and that is what counts. Like Brit & Jackson, this dog is her her world. She walks her dog every day (bad weather stops her), takes her to dog parks and is with her every minute except when she is at work.
I sometimes feel guilty for buying mine especially since they came from a broker. Before YT, I had no idea about bad breeders, BYB or brokers. I knew about puppy mills and pet stores but had no idea about the brokers. If and I will, get another dog, hopefully it will be another Yorkie, it will be a rescue. I would love to save them all but I can't. But if I can save one or two (or as many as I can without being a hoarder) I will be happy. I think the $300 or whatever fee is necessary to pay the rescue will be the best money I will spend.
