I didn't buy Diesel with the intentions of breeding. I wanted a pet/companion. That being said when I started looking for Yorkies I have to admit I was shocked by the prices! I wanted one anyway and forked over the money. BUT, for the price that I paid I didn't want a limited registration. I honestly think that if that prices of Yorkies were to come down then this wouldn't even be an issue. You wouldn't have BYBs wanting to make a quick buck and you also wouldn't have buyers complaining about the limited registration.So many breeders insist they aren't in it for the money yet the prices are crazy. I know I am not the only one who feels this way..
I can also see this from the breeder's point of view. I have to wonder if you see this problem with other breeds that aren't in demand. It sure would make for an interesting study. |
