i am in korea for the summer and i went into the vet to buy my cousins some doggy treats and they sold puppies there (random eh?)
i saw 3 yorkie puppies and fell in love with one. i even named it. mozart :P (not sure if the puppy is even a girl or a boy) i know i can't buy a yorkie until i'm done school and plan on doing so when i take a year off to work in korea. i was talking to the vet, and yorkies in korea go for $300-400.
they used to be most sought out puppies, but now its not the most but its pretty up there. yorkies are considered expansive compared to other dogs of its size. malteses go for $150. i don't know why dogs are so cheap in korea. i'm still trying to figure it out.
but getting back to the original post. i do agree! i bought my mickey 10 years ago for $400 and so did most of my friends back then. and now, yorkies are going for $2grand+!!! i want another dog and refuse to pay such price. so i plan on buying a puppy when i'm back next year to teach. its hard to find informations about breeders in korea.
