This seems very odd to me as most rescues have a lot of older dogs or ill dogs. A good rescue doesn't use the cuteness of new puppies to raise funds as this one is doing with at least 2 different litters. They have very few older dogs.... |
I believe these dogs were born to a yorkie that was rescued and pregnant...not to a breeder. They are cute puppies. I think it's understandable to charge more for a purebred puppy as they are much more adoptable than an older, mixed breed dog. Rescues can incur so many vet bills to make them healthy and able to be put up for adoption. I don't see a problem with it. Cute puppies
