i have never had a dog of my own, i have never taken care of any animal of my own. so it seems like a hug step to buy a yorkie, which i might not be ready for. financially most probably.
am i wrong or am i getting the impression that you got to be financially secure (in other words, well off) to own a puppy? people have their own house, plenty of money to take them to classes and training and so on.
thanks for the feedback.
love your god too! really charming.... i love all yorkies! |
Welcome to YT!!
No you don't have to be well off financially to own a dog. Of course it is a good idea to have either very good pet insurance and/or a small fund set aside in case of an emergency with your dog.
First time dog owners do very well as long as they have a good breeder who will help them before, during, and after you get your puppy. Reading and talking to others to prepare you for a new puppy will help you immensely!
You sounds like you would make a fine first time dog owner. You are asking lots of questions and that is how we learn. we were ALL first time dog owners at some point
About that breeder, I cannot say if she is legit, I don't of her. But I can say that they sure didn't look right to me, right off the bat I noticed that, and having puppies outside that young bothers me a lot.. Running through the dirt, the plants, and then the size of the parents she mentioned.. way to small to breed.
I have a 3 1/2 pound yorkie, she is 5 and there is no way I could see her having puppies (she was spayed at 10 months). I do not understand why someone would breed such tiny dogs. Those pups she had were what I call a pretty normal size. and i think some of these breeders who say they have teacups and micros are just big fat liars.
