This may sound crazy to some, but it's the God's honest truth...when I got Baby I paid $2300 for her. I lived in an apartment that didn't allow pets. I'd never had a dog, and honestly didn't know much about Yorkies. I told myself that if I couldn't "handle" having a dog, I was going to give her away to my friend Maria. I wasn't going to ask her for any money...even though she probably would have given me some anyway, b/c that's how she is. But, that's me. Man am I glad I learned a buttload about Yorkies and kept her.
