my husband will not buy me a yorkie help
 

my husband will not buy me a yorkie he says 1500 is to much plus travel expense to go from virginia to LA california im stuck i fell in love with this
breeders pups should i just give up and go with someone closer he says this word for word IM NOT PAYING 1500 FOR A DOG THAT IS NOT A GOING TO BE IN SHOWS ALL HE IS GOING TO DO IS WEAR CLOTHING AND BE HELD and he is telling the truth i do want a yorkie just to hold all day and hug and kiss and wear cute shirts so i may just go with someone closer to me .

I'm sure if you just keep looking you can find some in your area that cost less.

Good Luck

I would look for a local breeder. My Husband was strict on how much I could spend for a yorkie. My first one I paid $600 for and he thought that was a great price. The second one was $1200 but I really wanted her and he gave in. Now that he knows so much more about the breed he would let me spend more.

The same exact thing happened to me. Our first yorkie was a gift from my parents because my husband refused to pay over around $500 or $600 for a yorkie. Then he fell in love with the breed and he actually suggested that we buy a second one ourselves. We spent $900 on our second one and my hubby didn't blink an eye at the price. Now that he loves the 2 we have so much, I think he will let me spend more on one next time, but that will be after one of the two we have now passes.

I would suggest looking for a local breeder. Maybe your husband will fall in love with the breed, too, and you can get a puppy from the breeder out in LA when you get a second yorkie. Yorkies do better in pairs anyway. They are very social animals andn really like to have a little playmate.

Send him here !! We can talk him into it !:D :D Maybe you all can go see some yorkies and let him hold one for a bit...see how he feels and maybe he'll come around ?

Honestly I say just do it, my mom bought a shih-tzu about 8 or 9 years ago my dad wanted no part of it but she went by herself bought her with HIS credit card lol took her home within a week that was his little girl to this day she still is. Also my boyfriend wanted nothing to do with a small dog, he saw one at PetSmart and the lady was nice enough to let us hold her and he fell in love and now I have a Yorkie that he paid 1300 for. It will all work out eventually if it was me i would just do it on my own... honestly whats he gonna do leave you because you bought a dog i dont think so...thats just my opinion though. Good Luck with getting your baby once you have one you will be so thrilled!

puppy
 

Get a job and earn the money yourself. I wanted a new car once..my husband said he would buy it for me in 12 months when his car was paid for..so I got a job made the payments for 12 motnhs and then he took over..

That is a great idea, too!!!!!!!!

Just keep nagging him. It always works for my wife!

LoL that doesnt work for me. My Husbands a nagger too

Take him to the pet shop
 

My hubby would not budge on getting a yorkie or any kind of dog... WELL... I was meeting him at the mall and I went in to to pet shop just to see if they had any Yorkies, and they did and I played with him and my heart melted... I met my husband and told him I wanted him to see the dog. He said "I'll look but I am not buying a dog" Sooooo in we go, and I have the girl bring the puppy out to play, and Mike wasn't even with this puppy for 10 min and he said...OOOOKKKKKK you can get him!!!!!!!!!! Chewy was exspensive. But I jumped at the chance because it was my only chance and I knew nothing of puppy mills.

Now... I am not saying go buy a pet store dog, but if you can get your hubby to just play with a yorkie you may be able to hook him. Mike hated little dogs... he swore he would not take care of this dog... well I go to get Chewy to take him out and he is gone. Not only is Mike taking him out, but he is hanging out with Chewy... letting this dog kiss his face!!!!!! I would never have guessed. he calls Chewy his little buddy!!!

Just remember that there are vet bills, grooming costs, Plus all the clothes and crates, and pens...TOYS & TOYS & MORE TOYS!!!!! in the begiining it does cost a lot. But worth every penny! I'll say a little prayer for you to get a yorkie... we all should, we all know the power of prayer around here!!!!;)

you can't put a price on unconditional love tell him that and maybe save up some of your own money!
yorkies can like 13-15 years or more so if you divide that bye 1500 you get at least $115 a year now come on tell me that's not a deal!!!

I also think you should just raise the money yourself and just go buy it. I personally would NEVER let my husband tell me how much I can spend on unconditional love and companionship :D

I guess I'm a little old fashioned. I think it's best you wait until you and your spouse are in agreement. Don't let a dog cause (possible) friction between you two. You certainly don't want him to resent the dog.

I would be patient and look for a local breeder. Be picky, and be patient. You will find a good Yorkie, pet quality (since you don't want to show) for alot less than $1,500, I would think.

Good luck!
