As with just about anything in life there are pros and cons. A small dog being prone to injury is a definite con. But you don’t seem to realize that there are many pros to the smaller yorkies. When we sell the very small yorkies we try and educate the people on the cons of the small yorkies, and there are some cons that you probably are unaware of yourself. With this knowledge customers are able to make more informed decisions.
In some cases the people decide that the really small yorkies isn’t really best for them and decide on a little bigger yorkies. Then there are other times that even knowing the cons of the small yorkies to them the pros out weight the cons. Our job as breeders is to educate our customers with factual information that can help them make better decisions and we do a much better job than most.
As far as pricing I have never seen a post complaining about a show breeder charging $12,000.00 for a yorkie. Or about many show breeders getting 3000.00 – 5000.00 for a puppy. Why is that ?
No one has answered my question
Why is a breeder who breeds for small Yorkies not reputable?
Or why are you not a responsible breeder if you don’t breed bigger yorkies? |
I have found ONE show breeder that sells their champions for $12,000.00

that being said most will place a finished champion dog/bitch $5000-$6000 unless placed overseas, I've seen up to $25,000.00 BUT that is a well established/respected kennel.
