I'm just running out of ideas and thinking that my family and I cant get another yorkie. Also my mom likes the Biewer and wants a Biewer.  I'm so stressed. |
Buying or adopting the dog is the cheapest part of dog ownership. If you can't afford to pay to get the dog, then that means you can't afford the dog. Just bc a dog is cheap to get doesn't mean it's going to be trouble free forever. There's a reason why it's cheaper.
That being said, for a rehome, $550 is steep, esp for a dog that might not even be pure!
Also breeding is expensive. If you can't afford the dog, how can you afford to breed? If she needs an emergency c-section, that's $2000 right there. If you don't get it done, the girl can die. Also you say you wn't sell the pups, but keep them for yourselves. Bringing up pups is expensive also.
Listen, I know you are young, and you are here to learn. But please try to reconsider, and tell your mom. Sometimes the children are smarter than their parents in certain aspects. Maybe you can educate your mother?
Did you read my other post about male dogs after they have been bred? Their personality changes. They run away to look for females in heat. Their pee smells stronger, they mark everything. Kudos won't be your little puppy anymore, he will become a working dog.
