They wanted $2300.00 for them plus tax; no papers and you had 24 hours to get your own vet check! Given that I can see why a breeder of a show dog would want much more. The demand is there. A LOT of expense goes in to getting a dog show ready.

If Mya had a tiny pup, I would charge more because I know her Sire produced a very healthy tiny ill guy. Both Mya and her Sire have health certificates and vet check reports. There is no history on each side from past generations having any defects but she was not registered. So her puppies will not have papers. If her pups are average size and adult weight works out to 5-6 lbs I will sell them for $1500.00 I have promised friends that they get first notice as well as family. The dogs that people are paying $2500. From the pet stores have no history on the dog. Looking at the puppies I would guess they would be 10lbs or more. One little guy had massive paws for a Yorkie.
I am not sure if I will ever breed Mya again as she had a tough time with morning sickness, I am cooking chicken and beef for her and she seems to have cravings...lol. She is only half way there and I don't like leaving her alone. A lot of time and effort and concern and vet checks, stud fee and special foods and vitamin zed drinks go in to play before the puppies even get here. I am now in search of a used playpen and yes a baby monitor. After all she is my baby. I am living of a disability pension and going through a nasty divorce so I have no shame in charging my friends and relatives for what will be a happy, healthy dog. BTW my wanting a 5-pound dog had to do with travel, my parents are old and live in Florida, I wanted a dog that would fit under the seat in front of me, and she does in her carry bag. I still think big Yorkies are lovely, I just don't believe in false advertising.

But if your puppies won't have any papers then how are you going to sell so high. Their will be no paper proof that they are pure.
