I know what a great dog Stewie is and he is healthy and well adjusted. You got a great deal on him.
My point is that the breeder should have spent at least $500 to raise him for you according to the calculations of the breeders we respect on here, so the breeder either lost money on the deal, or maybe broke even if she provided him, his litter mates and his mother proper care.
I am not pointing a finger at anyone on here who got a deal on their yorkie but I just feel
we need to more fairly compensate the breeders for the job they do. I know I wouldn't do it for any amount of money and most of us who have read the stories and lived through the deliveries via the internet, the ceasareans, etc, understand only SOME of what these courageous people go through. Yorkies are a difficult breed to breed and the puppies are valuable as we all know so high prices shouldn't be a shock as they seem to be on here. JMHO as always.
