I feel that a lot of people are taking advantage of the fact that " lap dogs" like the yorkie are so popular. It has became really ahrd to distingush the breeders that truely love the breed and their dogs to the breeders that only see money signs on their dogs. I only have 1 yorkie and my husband bought it for me from his aunt who is a responsible breeder. I know he didn't pay no where near the thousands of dollars people are asking for now, but I wouldnt mind paying that. If I knew my puppy came from a warm loving home, where the breeder took all the proper precautions, vet check, shots, mother is healthy before pregnancy occurs. People who truly love dogs invest more than money into them, and I personally want to get the best dog possible so I know he will be with me for a very long time. Not to mention why people turn to this breed they have expectations like tempermnet, apperance. If none of these are what is standard to the breed then you wont expirinece a true yorkie, just a sad unhealthy, inbred dog.
Sorry for it being so long, just had a few thought reading the thread. |
