| I think this would be more interesting if the survey was broken down into groups of AKC registration, and show quality, and mix... I can see paying more for AKC and even more than that for show quality, etc...

| Tyava's Out of Oz, Toto was bought from Ava Tyree, Tyava Yorkies in Marietta, GA. She breeds show Yorkies and Toto came from a long line of Champions. She is AKC registered, because we could, and I have never told anyone what we paid for her. I can tell you this, however, if we bought her today, we would pay ten times again what we paid! She is our joy!

| I had previously posted that I thought I'd payed $650 for Rudy. Well, I was cleaning out some papers this past week and saw the original receipt for him. ( that sounded weird to say it that say ) anyway, it was $800.00 I had put $150 deposit on him and don't know why I forgot about paying the deposit. Like other's have said, he is worth every penny of that.

| I paid $1000 for Meeka, she is AKC registered and is 5.5 pounds. Health Guarantee I paid $900 for Bella, she is AKC registered and 4 pounds with Health Guarantee I paid $800 for Zoey (She is flying to me on sunday) and she is estimated to be 5 to 6 pounds and is AKC registered! With health guarantee All of these amounts are for my actually cost of buying the puppy. I paid between $200-$300 more for each puppy to be shipped to me. |

| Do you admit the full price? Or not. Well, this was a interesting Poll. I don't know very many people that like to admit how much they spend on something. Whether it be a pet, a house, a car or even a outfit. We even like to hide things, like prices from or spouses. Shh! I'm still in the process of bringing home my little Ms. LeiLani. She's coming from a Champion Bloodline Breeder, with a Health Guarantee and I chose a Show Breeder. I did this for many reasons. I've been looking for her for 1-1/2 years and then I talked to my Breeder for many... many... months. I had looked at a Yorkie for $350.00 and one for $700.00 and another one for $1500.00 but decide against them all. And this was because I was not happy as to why they had decide to breed their pet. $Money$ So I then started talking to Show Breeders. Until I found one that I liked and she needed to like me also. Just because she come from a Show Breeder it doesn't change why I wanted her. Pure Love and that's hard to put a price on. Originally LeiLani was going to be my Breeder's Show Dog but she was willing to sell her to me as a "House Pet". She liked why I waited for so long before I decided on a Yorkie and she liked me. I didn't just snatch up the first one I saw. This is what I believe starts "Puppy Mills". I paid "OVER $1800.00" for her. See! Even I can't admit the full price I paid for her. I don't mind spending the money... as long as I know I will not be contributing to any more unwanted animals or destroying her bloodline.
