Anyway, if you borrowed $450.00 to get the puppy and were concerned about paying it back, I do have a bit of advice. Yorkies are not cheap to own. The purchase price may be only the tip of the iceberg. You could double the cost in the first month in vet visits alone if the puppy were to come up with a case of kennel cough or other illness or maybe fall off your couch (as another yt'er posted) and break a leg, etc.... I know you really want a puppy now but it would be wise to do some research and find out how much the puppy will probably cost you and start saving up for it now and don't actually get a puppy until you have twice as much as you need. That way if the puppy were to need unexpected medical care you would be prepared to deal with it. |
I totally agree: Piper fell off the bed the 1st week, it wasn't broke but it was still over $100 for the Vet to tell me that. Spaying alone was over $200. We've had an ultra sound plus the visits $500 to get us to an ultra sound. She was sick when we got her $300. Vaccinations, $200 or so. I could go on & on. It cost alot for small dogs, not just the price of being able to puchase one.
