| Looking for any yorkie in los angeles, or ca [F]You do not know how bad i want a yorkie, and for how long i have been wanting one. You might be asking how come i dont just buy one already, but see thats the thing, i dont got money, i just started college as a freshmen, and at the time my parents pay for everything, so my books and tuition are all taken care of, this is why i can only afford 100-300 but the thing is that i have tried buying one but all of these sellers are in "AFRICA" and i dont get convinced so, and then adoption, but it would be to difficult because theres a long list of people waiting for puppies, and i wouldnt get a chance if im all at the end of the line. I have tried it all petfinder.com craigslist.org puppyfind.com petfo.com yahoo.com EVERYTHING Name a site, i have already been there probably, and sometimes all these places where they say to donate or deposit 200 -300 dollars for one, i have been lied to and scammer warning everywhere that now its hard to believe what and who is really meaning what they say, and who is really in fact being honest behind their computer. I came and joined this site as a last resort to try and see if through here i can find someone who is more than willing and happy to give me a yorkie either for free or less than 300, i know it sounds crazy but i mean, i would take care of it with my life, there is nothing to worry about, i live in a house, .7 acres, its a huge backyard, i got 2 little brothers, a 2 year old sis shes going to be 3 09/20 and i would like to see her happy as well as see a little doggy running around my house if there is any one out there that can offer me something a puppy, or a dog does not matter if registered, or not, if spayed, nor the sex of the pup, nor if its dewormed or none of that, all i want is a puppy between weeks and 1 year please if any one has information, if you will be having a puppies soon, if your yorkie is going to be having puppies soon, or just have an extra pup to give away please notify me soon, if in southern california, i would be able to pick it up no worries about that. Thank you all for your time, if you need to get to me directly please email me at heyisisis@sbcglobal.net or on aim - itsmeehisis thanks! -isis[/FONT][/SIZE] |

| Isis, keep in mind that having a dog is very expensive. The monthly flea treatment, vet bills, food, spay/neuter, products, training, etc etc. I'd hold off until you have some $ in your bank account to pay for all this. |

| Welcome to YT! Please do not buy a dog from someone in Africa. That is a SCAM!!! I hope you find your baby real soon. You will have one when the time is right. |

I agree with sassypup. Yes you are saying that your parents can take care of the expenses and yes a yorkie can cost you some money but vet bills and other needs that it will need will be much much more than the cost of the puppy. Believe me...I have 2 which are 5 & 6 months old and my boy has been with me for 4 months and my girl for 3 months and between vets, meds and them getting sick...I've spent more than $3,000 in 4 months. Just last month I had to take Timmy to the vet and he needed an x-ray...cost me a little over $200.00 and when I first got him he got really sick where I thought I was going to lose him and he had to be put on IV's and that was more money out my pocket. So please keep that in mind....its so much more than just love.. they are just like us and have needs I think even more than us... If your parents are willing to spend the money.... then I'd say go for it. Again...good luck! | |

| Yorkies are expensive because they have so few puppies in a litter, it is expensive to raise a litter, the cost to start breeding is very high....the list goes on. Most breeders do not break even. I have two little pet yorkies and they are expensive month to month. If the cost of a yorkie scares your parents, vet care would send them running. Spay/neuter surgery is pricey, what about dental care? Some yorkies require this yearly. Flea/tick/heartworm is pricey...what if you get a yorkie for free and then you run into medical problems? You could be looking at the heartbreak of a dead pup or thousands in vet bills. My husband and I have an emergency fund JUST for vet bills, and it is a couple of thousand dollars...yorkies are dear little things...key word little! Reggie once jumped off the couch and dislocated his shoulder...$600 later...$200 later...for x-rays, meds, emerg vet bill, gas... The sad reality is proper care for a dog is expensive and a small delicate dog is even more expensive to give them a good quality life. You could get lucky...get a free yorkie and have 0 problems but what if???? I am too looking for another yorkie, but I am looking for show quality, so I am doing TONS of research, saving more money for the emerg vet fun and then I need to save thousands to buy the yorkie, I am looking at a year minimum. Sorry to burst your bubble, but good luck. But just think! In a few years you will graduate, get a great job and be able to afford a good quality yorkie and provide a great life for it!!! The time will go by quickly, study hard, get a job and read as much as you can on yorkie's and then you will be all set!!

| Ive seen plenty of rescue dogs right here on YT that are beautiful. Maybe just wait it out or save some more money to get the one you want. Our local shelter has a list your name can go on so if a Yorkie comes into the shelter you have first chance at adopting...I did that years ago for my springer spaniel. Within about 6 months they called me and I had a wonderful companion!! Dawn |

| Four years seems like a long time but if you wait ill you are more financially secure it will be soooo worth the wait to get a good quality yorkie!!
