Wow...I have to say..expenses here are much higher. Average price for a clean line, quality breeding female is $2,500. My vet costs are about double what you have listed. Add more for emergency visits...and there are ALWAYS emergency visits. Annual teeth cleaning, blood screenings, and heaven forbid you have a problem pup.... If you mentioned crates, ex-pens, pish pads, cleaning supplies, whelping supplies, heating pads, whelping boxes, cushy beds, and puppy gift packs, I missed it. Also, Fencing and if you are silly enough to think your yorkies need a specially decked run/play area in the back yard...add a easy 1,000 just in materials and DIY.
There are so many more 'incidentals' that I try not to think about it much. About 15.00/week on just chew hooves and bully sticks alone. I won't be breaking even anytime soon.
sheesh I just hate it when I have to think about this...
