It's bad news if shes gone and got a Yorkie now....look what happened to Chihuahua sales...every Paris wannabe wanted one..and some breeders were rubbing their hands together knowing that they were in such huge demand that they could ask any ridiculous price they wanted...and got it.
It's the reason Chihuahuas are so expensive in the UK..because of the fashion trend..Paris, Britney and so many others parading around with token dressed up teeny pup under one arm...teenage girls were bound to follow.
Will these teenage girls still be there for their pup when it's 14 and suffering god knows how many ailments and needs round the clock care?....probably not.
Sorry for the rant...but this does annoy me! |
Chihuahua's were expensive over here before they became a "fashion trend", mainly because there were limited breeders and not really a common cross breed.
Teenage girls aren't going to have the money to buy a Yorkie in the first place to be able to go "parading around with token dressed up teeny pup". I'm 25 and couldn't of afforded to buy Gypsy myself, my parents bought her for me as my birthday present and I wanted a Yorkie because there was Yorkie's in our house before I was even there and I grew up with them.
It annoys me how much of a big issue people seem to think it is that they have got Yorkies... look on Wikipedia and see how many celebrities own Yorkies... they aren't the only onces and I'm pretty sure film stars have less time to spend with their Yorkie's than Paris and Britney!

I'm not a Paris fan by any means... I just think it's wrong that she's getting so much thrown at her because she has a Yorkie...
