| Please Dont Get Offended I was wondering why the brewer yorkie is normally more than a standard yorkie? Does it have to do with the "new" factor. Coming from europe so recently? I do not want to offend I want to learn more. Thanks |

| No offense taken... As an owner of Biewers, I would answer you that I have quite a bit invested into my dogs. What I paid for my breeding prospects is what I base my breeding prospect prices on. I have sold pets for anywhere from Free to $3500 depending on quality, sex and size (I know many of you are against prices by size, but let's face facts. .. It is way easier to sell a 4 pound Biewer or even yorkie than it is a 7-9 pounder. supply and demand, basic economics.) I also show my Biewers, so this should make my prices pretty stable since my stock came from champions and are themselves champions. Yes, having fewer numbers in the US also plays a part as I have "big" breeders emailing and calling me all of the time that want breeding stock so they can add to their herds they already own. They are just intereseted in a quick buck and not quality. I do not want my kennel name associated with this, if my name is on a ped it represents me. (I am very picky where my babies go and do a comprehensive check on the intended owners.) I cannot speak for other Biewer breeders, but I have all of my puppies DNA tested, Microchipped, vet work and vaccinations all done by a vet, so the puppies get checked over several times. I poor my life and soul into each litter. I do not breed for tinies but they have happened. I have more than once supplemented puppies around the clock to keep them alive. I have a full time job, and do not live off what the Biewers bring in. It all goes back to the dogs (vet bills, food, toys, treats, shows, new dogs.) They are my passion not my occupation. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Kathy785 and I share similar values and ideas, as well as several dogs. We both work very hard; we don't skimp on vet expenses, toys, choice foods, and a lot of time spent socializing and grooming the puppies and dogs. I spend 24/7 with puppies and dogs. Kathy takes puppies to work when they need to be fed every 2 hours. We both have been up all nite with a sick puppy and have spent all nite on the phone giving each other moral support. The dogs are high maintenance and worth every minute of every day. We are very selective where our pups go; we both do full background checks as much as possible. We want the owners to know they have a special pup and that they can care for it no matter what happens.... |

| I think that at the current time, there is alot of time and expenses involved w/ the Biewers. I'm not sure how much the cost to have one imported from Germany is (as that is personal), but I can imagine it's a considerable amount. In addition, as it IS such a new variation of the Yorkshire Terrier, I know alot of breeders are putting tons of time into research and studying the history and specifics of the dogs. Add that to the stadard costs of routine vet care, standard costs of dogs, supplies, time or costs of raising a litter... Well, it adds up. |
