my discouraging search.....

well i dont really know what forum to put this in... but i guess general is here for a reason lol
my best friend has fallen in love with my yorkie Oscar... and recently her cat of 6 years has just died so we decided that we would try to find her a little girl yorkie. we decided that if we both chipped in what we could.. we could spend around 500$... which is cheap for a yorkie... and as im realizing... practically impossible. im getting more and more discouraged as im talking to these breeders and they are all getting more and more rude! i tell them that i know that its a low price and i understand if they dont have anything available that they can give me for that price... and they just keep ripping into me about it! it all started with one yday who told me "no, GO TO THE POUND".
all i can think of is.. i do look there everyday and the newspaper. i just so happened to be able to "rescue" Oscar for the price of shipping b/c he had a hernia and other medical conditions. and i keep praying that there will be another situation like that for my friend Candice.
She is the most responsible caring, animal lover i know, and i know that a breed like a yorkie will be absolutely perfect for her. Her boyfriend just recently broke up with her about a month after he said they were going to get married... and i just really wanted to help her find something new to have in her life and someone that she could love again.
i just wanted to vent a little about the struggle and the arrogant breeders......i wish that everyone got the chance to experience the love of a yorkie.. it truly is different from other dogs... ok im gonna stop whining and keep looking!!!!!!!
