Exactly!
So the bargin puppy ends up not being a bargin at all later down the road with the vet bills the new owner is stuck with. There will be vet bills owning a Yorkie, but these unneccessary bills from breeding healthy dogs are heartbreaking. I get nervous every time I go to the sick and injured section in YT to read post there.
