If someone had given me that advice, We wouldn't have paid almost $1500 to get a (now) 12 pound, Yorkie (mix?) from a Backyard Breeder who disappeared off the face of the earth. They delivered, and that's another thing you hear that you are not supposed to do because you never meet the parents. We thought "how nice!" and they brought their kid with them who cried when my hubby bought the puppy while I was at work... How "cute".
You can get a cheap Yorkie, check out REAL Rescues or save up. We thought $850-900 was cheap for a Yorkie, but as I stated- it wasn't really that price at the end of the deal. We got scammed because they promised he had all these shots, and he didn't, and we had to pay for it etc. They also showed up with a higher price than what we agreed on. My husband just fell in love with Derby (they brought 2 pups with them) and he didn't care about price at that point.
I love my dog, but for that price
I should have a max-7 pound purebred Yorkie. We don't even know if he's just a poorly bred Yorkie over standard, or if he's a mix. We love him, but damn that was a lot of money for what we got.
GOOD ON YOU, original poster, FOR COMING HERE FIRST!!!!!
