heath testing it very important and well as the quality.
do you have silk coated parents??
most people like the silk coats the best and they are easier to care for and much prettier IN MY OPINION
also what are their weights on the parents as if they are over the standard of 7 lbs then they would go for less.
and the colors also play a part
most poeple want the standard of blue and gold
I personally like the black and gold best but it is not the standard.
bottom line if you are not a show breeder I think your prices are fair
why buy from a regular breeder for a 1000 and up when you can get much better for those prices from the best of the best. |
I think it depends on the area. My Diesel was 500, parents are health tested for everythng, dna tested, I know at least the mom had a wonderful coat as well. He was priced so well because of the vet. I had posted when I got him that the breeder lives down the road from where I grew up. Goes to the same vet as I brought my critters to growing up. Very old man, very old school, very old prices.

Plus, she has done all of her vet care for her Yorkies with him for all of the 14 years she has been breeding. Small town, small price.
