Or do they become the Yorkies that other Poor Folks rescue from the Pounds only to realize that they can't afford to care for them either.... I wonder how many times some of those dogs get shuffled around before someone who Can afford them adopts them.... ????
Maybe Poor Folks should not be spending money on Dogs??? They require a serious amount of upkeep Financially! And it goes WAY BEYOND the cost of Procurement! With Yorkies you are looking at a 15 to 20 year long Commitment! Check ups, Vac's, and preventive care can really add up.... If you properly care for your dog.... You'll spend MANY thousands on it over the years... and I mean your dog could be a down payment on a car by the time your done... Heck, some could pay for a new car outright!
And Did it ever cross anyones mind that a breeder just might charge a really high price in an effort to find a home that CAN afford to give their puppy the life it deserves? The care it needs? The financial security we all would want our Babies to have??
Call me crazy??? But this is how I see it! When I was much younger and paying for gas with Dimes and Quarters... I did not have a Yorkie... I wanted one.... But I could not afford one... End of story! |
No matter how much money you have the fact of the matter is breeders are charging too much for the yorkie breed and it's getting ridiculous. I have funds and I think its too much I bought my house, "cash" no payments, I bought my car, "cash" no payments, so not all people complaining about the high priced yorkies are poor.
