Even if you do your own grooming, preventative routine vet care (check-ups, shots or titer testing, annual blood screening, annual heartworm testing and meds, and dentals) can easily run into the thousands for just a year. And that's just if you pup is healthy! If they get sick or hurt, it can be 10 times as much. Just to give you an example, I have 2 healthy yorkies, and just for their heartworm prevention (12 months each) and flea and tick prevention (6 months each) it's $400. I spent at least $1000 (maybe closer to $2k) on vet bills just last year, and they didn't even have dentals done last year. It was just routine stuff, plus 2 tummy bugs and a sore paw. Our guys are little, and vet care cannot wait. They depend on us to keep them safe and healthy, so make sure you have the means to take care of a pup in the event of an emergency.

Thanks for the ballpark ��They are a beautiful breed and Im sure its worth it .
