Selling him for $1500, then reducing him, then "Gifting" him, then "Giving him away to someone that buys one of your other pups/buy one get one, then willing to talk about adopting him to someone, then five minutes later he's $400. YIKES. Can you make up your mind already. And, I have to also ask why would you have purposely breed for December pups when you are having trouble selling what you have. By your own admission the economy is bad and you even mentioned that you will not be able to or have trouble heathing this winter. If money is that tight I have to wonder how you will be able to properly vet the babies and mom. I'm not trying to be judgemental but please take a look at the situation as a whole and consider some factors before continuing to breed. You are not going to get the kind of money you want for mixed breed dogs and I have to say that I doubt you will get it for pure Yorkies either. As long as I've been a member here on YT which is about two years now I have seen most Yorkies go for under $1000 and upward of $1200 tops with some but very few being higher then that and they are even having trouble selling at that price. Why not just enjoy them as your pets. Elaine
