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 <a href="designer%20clothes" onmouseover="window.status='designer CLOTHES'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">designer CLOTHES</a> it means that- but not with yorkies - there are far too many good breeders who charge totally acceptable prices. |
This brings up a subject I was just discussing with someone. What prevents me from Charging 3,4,5 thousand dollars for my pups? The quality of mine is equal to the others I see for those prices and jeez, I could probably get in the black a heck of a lot faster and maybe get a nice car and a bigger house. So why not? Ethics is the answer. IMHO it is unethical to ask for such a ridiculously overpriced amount of money, just so some status hungry person can brag that they got a 5,000. yorkie. I like my sleep and my mirror.
