Not getting a yorkie :(
 

Well, my birthday is in exacly 4 days and im not getting a puppy anymore. The breeder I chose just didnt work out. and looking at the cost of other yorkie puppies, i dont want to make my boyfriend pay that much for my birthday, This is high school so he is probably a) working his butt off to get the money or b)getting it from his parents. and i dont like eether of those choices, so i just told him that maybe another type of present would be better.. he reluctantly agreed. I woke up this morning thinking "ONLY 4 DAYS TILL I GET MY PUPPY!" and then i remembered and starting crying for really no reason. I wanted this puppy so much, and now its gone, just like that. Weeks and weeks of planning and enthusiasm. gone. in no less that a day. I stil want a puppy sooo bad, and im thinking of buying one for myself but, my parents are refusing to pay for the dog, its always been like that with them and animals. i pay for the dog, they pay for supplies, vets, groomers ect.. . But yorkies arent exacly cheap, the cheapest ive found in or around miami is $1200. Im not looking for a show dog, or a dog to breed.. i just want a yorkie

well i guess thats what i get for getting my hopes up again :(

Jackie -- don't give up on your dream! You have hit a set-back but that does not mean the dream cannot still come true eventually. Keep looking at the papers in your area -- every once in a while I still see yorkies offered for $600-800 -- not breeding or show quality but great pets, get your name on file at every animal shelter in your area as wanting to adopt a Yorkie -- consider a mix or older dog, contact the Rescue organizations, offer a breeder work towards payment, get a part time job and SAVE. When you really have to work towards a goal, its achievement is all that more fulfilling. Good luck to you!

Sorry to hear this..Yorkies are NOT a cheap breed..Where I live they start at $1000. and go up from there...Have you thought about trying a yorkie rescuse? Good Luck in your search

Good luck in your search. I'm sure you'll have on eventually. You might want to think about your future a little bit... Are you thinking about going off to college in a few years? If so, having a puppy might be hard to live in the dorms, etc... but just because you can't get one now, doesn't mean that you can't get one later. Keep your head up!

I think you are a very nice girlfriend to think about your boyfriend. You're right - it is a lot of money for a high school boy. It's sad that you did not get this one, but I know there is the perfect yorkie in your future. Good luck.

Things happen for a reason. Just give it some time, great things come to those who wait! ;)

how sad!!!! i had wanted a yorkie for such a long time...every now and than i would come so close and then it just wouldnt work out. but now i finally i have her and she is more perfect that i could have ever dreamed of. keep looking...you will get the yorkie one day and realize why it didnt work out with the others. look in the paper....go to sun sentinal.com , then classified....there are ads all the time...if you call in time you might get a really good deal...i agree about the dorm thing though. you might want to consider how you would care for the yorkie in a dorm and if they even allow pets??? most do not.....maybe look into get an student housing apt or something?? i am from florida too...where were you thinking of going to college??

So sorry to hear that...I can relate, wanted a dog for a few years but I wasn't in a situation that I could have one :( . I'm sure that in your future there's a dog waiting for you as well, don't give up. It's surely worth waiting, maybe try a Yorkie mix or rescue shelters? Unfortunately dogs aren't cheap, and Yorkies need grooming every month or so... Good luck.

Don't give up ! You're such a nice girl so maybe Santa will bring you a yorkie !

Have you considered looking out-of-state? I'm in Ohio and was able to get my little girl for $750 (which is dirt cheap all thing considering!). She is not show quality, but she is darn cute and purebred.

The cost/time of driving 4-5 hours (maybe more) isn't bad if you can find one that is more in your price range.

Maybe you could find one at a local rescue or shelter? It may not be a puppy but hey its still a yorkie:cool:

Well Im planning on going to UM (university of Miami), they dont allow dogs in dorms but there are soo many apartments ect.. in the area that do allow pets, that that problem is easily solved. And my sister goes to U.M now, she lives in a no dogs allowed dorm with her maltese, and shes had no problems. She got the dog in her sophmore year of high school and in preperation for colledge taught the dog that barking when the door bell rang ect.. was unacceptable and the dog knows a command where she yells "NO PUPPY IN HERE!" outside the door, her maltese runs into her crate thats hidden in the closet and stays there until my sister calls her name, its soo cute, and not a bad idea eether lol

keep your hopes up sweetie....we found our nugget while my boyfriend was delivering pizzas.....he was only 200!!!!! just keep looking eventually you're bound to find a baby within your price range....i would talk to my breeder and see if she has any on the way...but i live in ohio....unless you could make a trip or something....but good luck!!! :) it took me 6 years to get a yorkie but i found him!!!

Lol....you sister is ingenious! Maybe she could teach it to "Meow"...when there is a knock on the door....
