I had sons who went to UCSB and Berkeley, so I know how difficult it is to have the time and money to devote to a puppy, especially a Yorkie that is high maintenance anyway. You have to be home constantly till you have it house trained it. It can't have run of the house. You can't leave it alone more than a couple of hours at a time. It has to eat at least 4 small meals a day. It isn't cheap to pay for the shots and to have it spayed or neutered. Have you read any books yet on raising a Yorkie? Please do your homework on Yorkies first. I don't think a college student should get a dog. One of my sons did that and it didn't work out at all. He now lives in San Francisco and has another dog thinking he can take care it it better. Now he wishes he hadn't gotten another dog, since he is single and would like more time to enjoy the single life. He is tied down like one who has a human baby. Please re-think your situation. |
