 You get what you pay for
While there appears to be some price variation attributable to geographic area, I believe most of it is due to breeding quality. The puppies from hobby breeders who show are generally from champion bloodlines and will always cost more than those from "back yard breeders" and puppy mills. Look at an $800 Yorkie standing next to a $2000 one and you will most likely see the difference in quality. |
