And people want to pay $400. for a purebred with all that we put into them???? Nuts!!
People have no idea how much work, time and money breeders put forth...makes me mad! |
Thank you for explaining this....I think people sometimes forget all of the money and work that goes into raising a litter of puppies. I have only raised one litter of puppies (Westies) and I am a future Yorkie breeder. There is sooooo much work, money, love, sleepless nights and tears that go into it....and that's my experience with just one litter.
I know what I paid for Livi (my parti Yorkie) is not what lot of people would pay for a puppy, but that was my own personal choice. There will always be a puppy that you can pay less for....so I just think that it is up to each person on what they are willing to pay.
