My first Yorkie wasn't as expensive but we bought her in England back in 1984, also from a reputable breeder and we had 15.1/2 wonderful years with her, with very minimum vet bills - just the annual check ups and shots.
As someone has said on the forum - you buy your breeder first! |
Good for you.
The hard part is educating on how to buy from a reputable breeder. People are amazed that the price of a yorkie from a reputable breeder/exhibitor is actually less that from a BYBer, pet store or puppy mill. But, even at the cost of a quality yorkie being as it is, which most of the time we're in the red, we couldn't afford the next litter. The money is put back into the dogs.
