I have researched the costs of a full bred/AKC registered puppy, with and without champions in their background----and I could not find any, in any state for anywhere even remotely close to a $300.00 price tag.
Believe me, I am far, far, far from an expert on Yorkies breeding, lineage, etc. However I have had my share of being on the other side of the buffet table--and was the purchaser of 2 successful placements and 3 unsuccessful placements of Yorkie pups in the past 18 months.
Who ever said there are numerous scams out on the internet---even from supposedly legit sites---could not be more correct.
In the past 18 months, I have lost a couple thousand dollars in internet scams dealing with Yorkiies.
As others have said, research, research and do more research. There are both great and horrible Yorkie breeders/brokers out there. From someone that speaks from recent experience--please be careful.
If you are interested in the wonderful breeders I have come across in my quest for my babies--please pm me. Good luck!!! |
It does happen. My breeder didnt care about money she wanted him to go to a good home. But you are definately right about the research. I came across several scams when i was looking but i was lucky enough to be suspicious and never lost any money.
But if you wait long enough there will be a perfect little baby that just shows up one day and it will be right for you.
