If the seller offered a great health guarantee, it might be different. But I'd still urge caution. Sorry, I'm old and tend to be cautious!
I agree with him. I am not as old as he is but I am very cautious as well.

I have waited for long time myself to buy a yorkie. It was really tough for me, but I am glad that I did that. As I waited for the right time, I also found the right yorkie for me. The perfect yorkie came to me at the right time. We tend to just look at only the price of the pup, but as everyone said, we also need to think about other expense as well. Haruka has been healthy but I pay health insurance for her $30 a month just in case of any emergency. There are also expense for pee-pad, food, clothing... and grooming. Clothes and grooming are depends on the owner.. I tend to spend on clothes often
