It has to be extenuating circumstances...and of course I want to make sure that if someone buys a puppy from me...that they will be able to AFFORD the food, vet bills, and anything else the pup will need. SOMETIMES asking to bring the price down makes me doubt they can afford one in the first place. HOWEVER, there are people out there would be willing to go to the ends of the earth for their furbabies...even if they don't have a lot of extra money to spend...and those are the people I would be willing to deal with. It also helps if they have other yorkies (preferably that they've had more than a year) so that I know they won't just dispose of the puppy when they get tired of it or can't afford it. I also have something in my contract that if they EVER decide to sell the dog, it MUST be returned to me and I will buy him/her back for a reasonable price. |
Well, all this talk about frowning upon lowering prices is making me feel bad. I am NOT a bad person. I CAN afford the breed. I'm actually adopting a YT members pair of adults soon. They even offered a lower price to me because I asked. I just like to save maybe 200 than what the breeders are asking for. That money can go to extra stuff that is considered not necessary to other dog owners, which seems to them to be spoiling them. Now is that bad???
