I agree that it is your hard earned money and how you spend it is your business and no one else. Don't let anyone get you down. They are well worth their weight in gold!!! We are in love with our new arrival and would of paid whatever it took to bring her home as long as we were able. We love her so much!!!! My family does know how much we paid for her, but no one has said anything. They all have been very supportive where I thought they would criticize, so I guess that goes to show that you never know. I hope people in your life will be supportive. Surely when they see how in love you are and how happy the Yorkie baby will make you, they'll forget all about dollar signs. Good luck and Congratulations!
