| Fare price? Looking into buying a 10 month old babydoll faced registered girl. She isn't from "champion" blood lines but good ones. With breeding rights! Is $3500 way to high a price? Thanks |

| In my opinion it is a ridiculous price. How much does this girl weigh at 8 months? There is much more to consider than a 'baby doll' face when looking for a foundation female. Breeders that use the term 'baby doll face' are frowned upon by the YTCA. It is very important that you study the Yorkshire Terrier standard and have a good understanding of proper conformation before choosing a female for breeding. A sound body is much more important than a pretty face.

1) What registry is this girl registered with? 2) What are all health tests that have been done on the breeding pair? 3) What health tests have been done on the 10mth old? You want specific ones 4) BabyDoll face is not a term commonly employed for show quality Yorkies 5) What are the health problems that have cropped up in the breeding lines? IMO $3500 for a female from non champion lines, who if "she has a babydoll face" which is not to the approved standard is way too much money. If there are no health tests done and posted to the approved health sites; I'd pass on by.

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | In my opinion that a ridiculous price! Do you have experience with breeding? Have health tests been done? Are you looking to breed her? If so why? If not for the betterment of the breed, then you shouldn't be breeding. How much does she weigh at 10mths? She may be too small for breeding, or not of breed standard which says not to exceed 7lbs. What resistry is she registered with...as far as I know the only reputable registry in Canada is the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). You might want to check into these things before forking out 3500.00.

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | I missed the 'non champion blood lines'. Nope i wouldn't, not when you can get a beautiful puppy of the same quality for far less. JMO

| Thanks lady's. She should finish around 5-6 lbs. She is from the USA and is akc registered. I just love the look of the shorter nosed yorkie. I had a pritty good feeling that was a far fetched price for not being from champion blood lines. I have looked into her lines and they are good but no champions of yet! I wouldd totally ask for health tests and also contact the breeder who owns both sire and dame. I am very stressed over the price as I just love the look and aperance of the little girl. |

| I have a silly question off topic but I'm curious. Does it matter, but why would you get an AKC dog if you are in Canada? Can you mix the AKC and CKC dogs?

All my breeding dogs are dual registered with both CKC and AKC, as I show in both USA and Canada. And their litters are dual registered as well. This makes for ease of transfer and registration within both countries. Sometimes the dog you want is a USA dog or conversely a Canadian Dog. I have my eye on only one breeder in the States for BRT;s; and if I decide to buy from them then I will go to California to pick up my puppy.

| I take it you want to breed this dog is that right? You are probably looking at a puppy mill dog. They tend to advertize on fancy websites with words like "tea cup" and "baby doll." You are looking at trouble. Yes, at that price you should be looking at a top championship line with wonderful show prospects. You can buy from a reputable show breeder and get a lovely delicate featured baby for around $1500.00. No reputable show breeder is going to sell you a show prospect if you have no show knowledge or experience. Breeding stock is going to cost more but a good breeder is not placing their breeding stock with someone who has no experience. You can spend your $3500 on a poorly bred puppy that will more than likely have genetic issues, could arrive very sick and very possibly will never produce a puppy. Not a very good value for your money. |

| I didn't buy that puppy as I am really more interested in champion blood lines. I have found that almost all "reputable show breeders" Charge alot more for there puppy's than $1500. I have alot experience with breeding. I used to bred high quality non registered Chihuahuas, and I was no back yard breeder, all my puppy's were sold with a spay and neuter contract at a specific vet. All puppy's had a 2 year guarantee. I had a great reputation and still do. Im looking for a show quality Yorkie as I want to take it to the next level. I want to learn about the show ring and raising show quality dogs. The only thing Im worried about is the other breeders....lol. I've herd from many in the show ring and those retired that its a very snobby place. Alot of people thinking they know it all and like to give you there 'OPINION" judging you before they even know you......that happens alot on here as well. I haven't experienced it my self....yet. But I have seen ALOT of posts where posters step way out of there places Giving their opinion with alot of snootiness. Anyways....I have decided not to show my Maggie as her ears are not quite perfect....(she's more than perfect to me) Im thinking I wan't to start out with a little male from puppy stage and work with him and find someone close to mentor us. |
