She also has LP which I'm really hoping she'll never need surgery for (not bothering her right now) but that could cost $1500 if she does end up needing surgery. I have a friend whose minpin broke its leg jumping from her husbands arms - cost her about $600 to fix. So please make sure you can afford to care for the dog before you get one

--A little off topic-- How was her LP diagnosed? Did she have any particular symptoms or was it found during a routine vet visit?

I just want every one to know that I presently have a 10 years old English Beagle and we have a military vet service at the local base. I use for Sherlock's health. We also uses the vet at Petsmart in Bluffton,SC were we they have a payment plan.
So the vet and shot will not be a problem. The main problem is that local breeders will not take payments. I found a yorkie-poo on Laurel Bay, SC and spoke to the lady about make 3 payments and she said that it was all or nothing. This is what I have been running into all the time. I guess I will have to just hold on and someday I will find the little boy that will be ours.
P.S. We can't afford no more that $150.00 if they are will to take $50.00 a payday.

I think I need to clarify a comment/suggestion I made earlier. I said that I saved for six months to purchase him. I forgot to mention that I could have come up with the full amount all at once if I had wanted to do so. I just chose not to go into our savings. I still have that money as backup in the event of a medical emergency with Gizmo.

Find a breeder with a good reputation and offer a deposit on a future litter. By then, the breeder will know you and might work out a plan to pay it off.

All of them will require full payment before the pup goes home with you and that should be expected.

I know you can work it out, just be patient.

If you can afford $50 per payday to make payments, then just set that $50 aside every payday now. In 2 months you would have $200 which should be enough for a mix I would think. If not then save for another month. I doubt you'll find anyone who will take payments. Good luck.

Try the newspapers too. I've seen people who want to rehome their babies at reasonable prices.

Doodlebug · 11-03-2007, 09:44 AM

Did you try Petfinder.com? I have seen several on there. Sorry, I didn't read all the posts so it might have been suggested already.

It seems like the last posting I saw about this said that she found a wonderful person here on YT who was willing to take her yorkie in and train it for her so that she doesn't have to rehome him.
