You said they "do test, don't charge more the smaller they are, and have checkups and still make a big profit"...doesn't sound like they are being all that honest to me.

The claim of them being able to come here and "use" YT swings both ways though. YT is also a place where people can learn and educate themselves on what to look for when they are looking for a dog. So if they are falling victim to the scam tactics you are describing, then they are just as much to blame.
I'm a little confuse so I'll try to say things in 2 parts.. lol

first part: Yes that's what I was getting at. There are people that claim they are ethical when they really aren't. But they appear to be the best to others and will end up selling and having a waiting list because of YT being here and helping getting the word of email (like the word of mouth..lol).


second part: I didn't say it was a scam. I'm saying that breeders use this site to their avantage. Make friends and sell higher. And what I was saying was that when everyone says the average cost of a yorkie is $1000-2000, a lot of people start to believe it, even though the average in their area is less, and will pay it because hey, 'this person seems great because everyone talks to her on YT and her everyone thinks her price is average.' People are more to likely go to someone that everyone likes and thinks is nice, even though they don't have the greatest quality. and with YT you are just befriending everyone and is getting your name out there.
