There is SO much great advice, here - I'm thankful I stopped in! I, too, was 'set' on the tiny Yorkie I'd always pictured - until I had a candid talk with an acquaintance who has a 4lb male and 5lb female. Her babies are 14 months, and she's already spent $1,000.00 over the cost of purchase on the male.
I'm so glad I did a little more research, else I wouldn't have gone back for Miss Abbie. She'll probably be 8-9lbs fully grown, and we paid $950 for her. |
