I can't help but speak out on behalf of people that have adopted dogs from shelters that have lived long and healthy lives. And for the thousands of dogs waiting to get adopted. I am not even sure why the OP posted here, because she never said she found a Yorkie puppy or was looking for a purebred show looking yorkie, she is just looking for a puppy that will not cost an arm and a leg. Perhaps if it is so risky to adopt from a shelter then why should they even exist, perhaps all the dogs should be immediately put down because there is a risk they might have a health problem in the future.
After being on YT and reading the sick and injured section I sure read a lot about yorkies that cost a lot of money that wound up with things like CT, AAI, really bad knees and so forth. Yes if you can it's good to go with a breeder that health tests, but don't be fooled you can still wind up with problems. If one wants to be 100% sure they will have a dog with no health issues they should get a stuffed animal. For every expensive yorkie out there, there are probably 5 x's as many healthy pound puppies.

I am sorry but blanket statements like "if your wanting a healthy puppy that is not going to be sick its going to cost at least $1,000" just put me over the edge because I know this is not true.

I don't think I was clear in what I was saying I meant buying a puppy from a breeder I was not referring to rescues and shelter pups.
