To those of you who recommended rescue as a cheap way to get a Yorkie, please reconsider. Don't you want a rescue dog going to people who have the means and desire to give him/her everything he/she needs?
Please, if you can't afford or are unwilling to take proper care of a pet, don't get one. |
True, just because the purchase price is lower does not mean the dog will not need just as much care in the long run. That being said there are always yorkies needing homes, if you are up for the responsibility of a pet I highly reccomend looking into rescue, you can put away the extra money you would have spent on a breeder in a rainy day fund in case the pup gets sick or injured.
