It sounds like your mom wants to breed and give free puppies to family and friends because they can't afford to purchase a Yorkie on their own. But when you do that, it can end up HUGE medical expenses. More than you're aware of.

And raising puppies is also really expensive. Who's going to pay for that?
I also think that giving puppies away to friends and family is worse than selling/rehoming. bc friends and family will tend to ask you to foot the bill if something happens to the pup, bc YOU bred them. If you sold/rehomed them to a stranger, they may or may not come back to you and ask you to pay. However, no matter who the pups eventually end up with, the breeder is the one responsible, bc the breeder was the one who brought them into the world. Sariah, are you and your mom ready for that responsibility?
