Excuse me but how do you make this comparison when any pet store in this area sells a Yorkie CKC reg from who knows where and not always in good health for more than double what I charge.
and yes I can back up all my price with a list of expenses not to mention the about 50 cents a hour I make for my time - this is done for "LOVE OF THE BREED " and not money- I am sure there are some on this forum that can tell you that I am not all about money when it comes to my babies getting to a great home.
As another poster said " at $2000 its a bargain for so many years of love in return- tell me how many on here after getting a "cheap" puppy have spent hundreds or even thousands only to lose the baby anyway- not to say every puppy that has a higher price is 100% going to be perfect - but the old saying of "you get what you pay for " holds true most of the time if you do your homework and go with a good breeder.
Sorry - just seems to be my morning to spout off when I see some of these posts slamming us that are trying so hard to produce beautiful babies for the rest of you to enjoy - hope I didn't hurt any feelings or step on any toes - if I did then let me say I am sorry - now I will go take on the day .
