I had the same question about why breeders charge so much for their Yorkie babies. When talking to my breeder.. I reallize what goes into really breeding the dogs. You have to reallize all the vet checks for each puppy.. the vet checks for mom.. Any medication if needed for mom to ensure she is healthy enough to care for them. All of her puppies had all dew claws removed, tails docked. The costs of creating the pen to keep the pups in. When ever I was at the Breeders house, there were toys for the pups to play with. The expense of WEE pads, for training, The food, not only for mom but for babies as well as they begin to come off mom. Not to mention if there was any time loss from work for the breeder during the birth.
I feel if you do not want to pay the price of a Yorkie that is not guaranteed to be healthy.. then don't purchase one. " You get what you paid for!" Completely true. My Baby and my mom's baby ( we have brothers) are the best. They were very well socialized, played with and loved. I absolutely do not mind paying the amount I paid for my boys! They are the best.
