I hope you find the puppy God has planned for you. It sometimes works out that way. Maybe you will have the good fortune to have a puppy fall in your lap. One of my good friends just gave her frenchie to a lady for nothing. She had gotten him right after she was married and just learned she's expecting twins and has 3 shih tzu so she has her hands full.
Anyway she found a good family from a friend at our church and met with them, liked them and gave them her little Monsieur.
About the pricing, I agree completely. When I was first looking at Yorkies I was horrified at the cost and could not understand why it was so expensive. (I even came across some of those "reputable" websites where prices were upwards of $5,000). A good family friend had yorkies and bred them until a few years ago and charged $500 a puppy and that was it. They were perfect little puppies, home raised and loved and she only placed them in good homes she felt they would be loved. I had a chance to get one of her yorkies and didn't because I didn't feel it was the right time for me to have a yorkie. But I now have Bella and I wouldn't trade her for anything. |
