Honestly the education can be worth thousands of dollars spent on Vet bills. YorkieMom1 is one of the last breeders we have on here willing to give advice. She has saved the lives of countless Yorkie puppies on here giving advice to novice as well as experienced breeders. I think she was responding to another poster who was determining what they felt was a reasonable price for a well bred Yorkie. I do not think she was implying anything by your questioning whether the expense would be right for you after having to spend so much on Vet expenses with your last dog. My sympathies to you on the loss. I learned the hard way and didn't go to a good breeder. I ended up spending over $7000.00 on medical expenses for Buster within the first year and a half. I believe that is the point Yorkiemom1 is making. It is wiser to spend more money on a well bred dog than to think you are getting a bargain and end up paying hefty medical bills and the suffering that the dog and us owners have to go through when they are sick, and that breeding dogs quality health dogs is an expensive business so will pay more for a well bred dog. I wish you the best on finding your new puppy and I hope it all works out. Best wishes.
