What does it cost you to raise an average pup and provide it with the very best care? Taking into account his litter mates and his mother and father cuz some may have more health issues, etc. |
No offense to any breeders here - I know most of you ...and you are NOT who this statement is about. I keep seeing how charging outrageous amounts is susposed to mean people get better yorkies - it bothers me.
I sure hope there are no breeders who see all this and think...."Hmmmmmmmmmm....I bet I can get another THOUSAND per puppy" That will just leave yorkies out of reach for many people if everyone thought that way. PEOPLE DO NOT have to be rich to own a yorkie - nor does a breeder need to be wealthy.
I know of a few sites that DO sell high priced yorkies - PAYING MORE does not mean you get better. Maybe with designer CLOTHES it means that- but not with yorkies - there are far too many good breeders who charge totally acceptable prices.
