Since we keep her short she goes every 7 weeks and thats stretching it. It you don't keep it short then you HAVE to brush often. If you aren't committed then work really hard to find it's owner.
Vet costs are additional and you should find out what they will run you.
I only mention this because your wife seems afraid of the cost. You also need to have him NEUTERED. Our animal shelter does it much cheaper than a private vet. You can use them for shots as well once he's had a good check up. |
I've been research, we figured keeping this dog is like having another kid. Grooming fees around here is $50 on average. as far as my wife and cost, what I meant is keeping the house nice and neat, my kids tends to leave their toys out.. the house is a mess.. I think it will work out.
I was able to locate a lost yorkie poster locally, but it turns out to be a much smaller dog (5lbs) and older (14 yrs)..
