Hello All,
I am simply reading the post but not even close to page 12 yet. However, I have noticed a bit of an "assumption" and honestly a slight "ignorance" about Korea just because the member asking the question happens to live there.
Please don't assume pricing is because it is Korea and not the states. Korea is not a real cheap place to live or as undeveloped as the tone people are having implies. Those that haven't been there or sometimes other places, think that things are backwards and less developed. This is not the case.
The member who posed the question just happen to pay less for their yorkie than what is considered a standard price. One can not be sure they got their yorkie in Korea. They could have lived somewhere else and moved there. If they did get their yorkie from Korea, they simply stated the price paid. Just like here in the states, prices very. I really believe they took into consideration the flack they were going to get from asking the question and even expressed how much they didn't want to be band. However, I don't believe they thought that there would be a particular...sorry to say...arrogance or prejudice because of location. It's almost like saying..."I don't know what you do there but here we..."
Ok, I am going to go back and finish reading now. I just wanted to make that comment because it was really bothering me how people were approaching this member and the post.
This is a very interesting post and I am sure some new members or even old one's are just as interested to understand both customer and breeder point of view.
Blessings...and happy posting.
