You know what? A friend of mine bought a yorkie for $200 from a puppy mill several years ago and has spent thousands on medical care and now doubts that he will make it to the age of 7. However, her sister bought a pup around the same time from a more reputable breeder, spent ~$1000 and has NEVER had any health issues and the little guy still looks and acts like a puppy.
Spending a little money now may save you a lot of money and heartache in the future... Another reason to spend a few extra bucks on the best dog food as well! |
