This is my opinion- when I was looking to get a yorkie, i found that on breeders websites, the prices were out of my range. we had gotten a gift of $550 for christmas. I knew enough not to go to pet stores. so i looked in the local paper and there were lots of advertisements for yorkies. was a women who has two female and one male yorkie and one female maltese. So she has only has a few litters per year (maybe three) of either morkies or yorkies. It was apparent that these four pups of hers were the families pets, and the puppies were in a play pen in the living room. so we paid $500 for our little Tobey and he has turned out to be a great pet! he is aca registered and i was given copies of the mother and father's lines. she gave us his food and a blanket, and told us how to watch for symptoms of hypoglycemia. then we left. Is she a breeder? or is she just a nice older lady who breeds her pets to make like $3,000 per year and supply good pets to people who can afford to buy from the full time breading business out there. is that wrong? i did not know a whole lot, but i knew i wanted a yorkie and couldn't afford $1,500. i would like to get another some in a year or two, but still don't want to pay much more than i did for tobey. What do you think? honestly?
