The average person doesn't have thousands of dollars....I've seen some pretty high priced yorkies that didn't look any better than most of our average priced babies - I for one think there are many many breeders out there pricing in the right range....They cover their costs and we get gorgeous yorkies - without spending thousands of dollars.
We're also seeing many using Marketing Techniques to 'trick' or convince people they are getting something special by using terms like Teddy Bear - Teacup and Baby Doll Faced - Plus asking much higher prices for those terms.
What happened to the term Standard Yorkie ? They don't need enhancing - they're all gorgeous no matter what the Flavor of the Month is.
I REALLY hope your sister in laws little yorkie is doing better - After spending thousands of dollars I hope the breeder is incurring some of the cost for that poor baby to get better !! she must be sick with worry ! |
That is outrageous. I paid $500 for Mollie we got her from a very good friend of mine. She had the best of everything from the day she was born until now and forever. Mollie is in perfect health. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to start anything. So plese no one get angry.
I persoally do not have thousands of dollars to spend on any animal at all, and probably wouldn't if I did have it. It's just outrageous. But of course this is just my opinion I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I am in now way condeming(sp) the people that do this is just my preference. Even if I wanted to my husband would tell me no way. He didn't like paying $500 for Mollie he thought it was too much.
