Like I said before, not everyone will agree, and some won't understand, but it is still a positive thing to try and educate people....that is what this forum's purpose is!! right? I think the post started out at the high prices for yorkies? But once people understand the cost that are involved in having a litter and caring for the puppies until they are ready for their forever home, it makes more sense to me. only one thing i am still confused on... and maybe it has to do with the fact that yorkies are small and therefore cannot have as large of a litter as say- a golden retriever or german sheppard. Is that what makes the prices higher? I don't have a problem with the prices, because the pups are worth every penny. I think all of us with a yorkie would agree?? right??!! but it is sad that some of us can't afford them as easily as others even though we'd be able to take care of them just as well as someone who can afford thousands. I guess us poorer people with lots of bills and life to pay for, will just have to set up a special "puppy savings account"
If I did that now and saved 5% of my income, I could by a $1,500 puppy in approximately 18 months. and i work full time and have a college degree! but people that help out at-risk teens are not well paid
