I respect your opinion when you disagree with the price, but if it was not a fair price, they wouldn't get it. Tanya's mentor who has been breeding for over 20 years just sold her "extreme tiny" to a repeat customer who already had two of her dogs and he paid $8000. He is not stupid and he feels very happy that she "chose" him to adopt this little one. She has only had one other one this small, and this cute and she is keeping it until it is 6 months old. |
Kim, I know I have never said i am opposed to shipping, you have me confused with someone else. I shipped Rio,remember, he had a layover with a nice stewardess? And the only reasons I didn't ship Mignon was her breeder doesn't ship the little ones and she was too little. After it was all said and done and I made the 11 hr drive it would have been faster to ship her to be honest! What I MAY have said is that i would always find an airline and pay the extra for the VIP service. I have also shipped baby exotic birds and never had a problem.
In my area we do not have many YTCA show breeders and that is who I chose to buy a dog from. The only option for me is shipping or flying myself to pick them up.
And 8000????? Kim you are supposed to be an intelligent woman, do you truly think that is not gouging?.
Somebody saw the money train rolling in with the "tiny" fad and jumped on it. That is right up there with another "breeder" of questionable reputation.
I would have serious doubts about any breeder who charges more for a tiny yorkie. But to charge that much more? I can buy a freaking tiger for that!!!!
