| parti carriers I see parti carriers for sale on limited reg for pet only homes. Why charge anymore for a parti carrier solely cuz its carrying the parti gene when the dog cannot be shown or bred? I understand maybe mentioning it because the pup may have more white on it, but I still dont even get why to advertise its a carrier? I just dont get it. |

| I think you pretty much answered your own question. I have no idea what other people are selling their limited registration carriers for, but when I sold Livi's puppy I did NOT sell him for more!! I also didn't charge extra to deliver him to his new family....which was a 5 and a half hour drive for us. |

| To try and fool people...if the dog is being neutered/spayed there is not reason unless because of the extra white...

I saw one on the net last night and I was a bit flustered why the breeder was charging so much for it as a pet only. Ps. I love that photo on your avatar. | |

| Not sure about the ads you are seeing but most of the ones I see run about the same for standard pups listed on limited registration. There are other factors as for price differences..Such as Price varies by location Full vs Limited registration AKC vs. APRI, ACA Male vs Female The niceness of the dog Structure and Coat texture. Pedigrees, Size, Health, Flaws (over or under bites) And if the dog is a carrier it should be stated. If not someone who is looking for a standard pup and finds out after the sale the dog is a carrier maybe upset. Last edited by yorkiegirl2; 02-13-2010 at 11:20 AM. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | As one parti breeder said, "Because they can!" I don't mind a breeder selling on limited registration, in fact, I think they should, but selling the dog for more than a dog with the proper hair color, seems to me, to be wrong. There's a market for it because people have created a market for it, it different, and there will always be those that believe that different means special. The proper yorkie coat is a very difficult coat to achieve, it must be straight and thick, and silky, and have a slightly metallic look to it, and not be full black but have this metalic like sheen, this metallic sheen is very difficult to produce, it shouldn't have white hairs in it that produce this silvery effect. There are many genes working together to get the proper coat. Why not just have 2 genes working together instead of 6 or 8, and you'll get what you want every time. I understand that some people like the parti yorkie, but I often wonder if they've ever seen a dog with a really gorgeous proper yorkie coat in person. Remember, when you have 2 partis you can only produce a parti colored yorkie, so soon the market will be overrun with parti people, and the price will fall drastically.

I realize ultimately it is up to the breeder on what they price their pups for and who am I to question it, but I am curious why they did it. | |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | We might not always like the price but I do not think you should questions somones integrity because of the prices. They have the right to charge anything they want. It is up to the buyer if they want to pay it. There is alot more to breeding than just having puppies. It cost alot! Parti's are farly new and the supply is low so they will cost more. It does not make it right or wrong in my book...just how it is. This is the real world and that is how everything is done.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I would much rather drive than ship. I drove once 16 hours round trip in one day. To me it is fun I like road trips. I like meeting people in person. I love seeing their faces when they first see their new baby. It makes a trip all worth it.
