Spending a ton of money doesn't necessarily mean you will get the best damn dog you can...lots of supposed top notch breeders can have a different side to them as well. We saw that not so long ago with a breeder that was on here that was revered and there was another side to her and a couple very bad experiences for some people here on YT. There are lots of expensive breeders that sell dogs that are not what would be fully considered the best representation of the standard...the popularity of the yorkie breed has dictated the way the market has gone as far a pricing. I have also seen several breeders that charge decently and their dogs are way better representations of the breed than those big sellers. So as with anything it's buyer beware and do your homework.

Anyhow that being said....I paid less than $1200 for each of my girls and that was with their ship. Granted her breeder and I had become friends but it was still a good price and she regularly sells her pups for decent prices and works with a family if she sees that they are a good match for her babies. She is not a show breeder nor is she a puppy mill. She might be labled a back yard breeder by some of the overly zealous and rather opinionated folks on here but you know what....at the end of the day I have gotten two healthy girls from this person. She may not do all the millionss of testing that people suggest but her lines are healthy and sound. I wouldn't turn back the clock for a minute.

I really do think that people need to step back and think about how they are posting something. You can have an opinion but try to not be nasty getting your point or opinion across.

For greeders that only care about receiving the most for their dog and see it as a second income and not something done for the greater good ...well what goes around comes around. People will get the word out about you, your practices and prices and it will curb your market some. YT is so not the place to come on and show your true side because we will spread the word and it will definitely put a hurt on your business...we have done it in the past. Knowledge and and the YT grapevine goes a long way.
