If someone can prove to me that the higher price is due to increased medical testing or genetic research or importing dogs or to cover show expenses or an emergency c-section--something of that nature, I can understand that. But when someone has outrageous prices just because they can pull in a higher dollar amount because they are producing something 'rare' or 'trendy', then I don't believe their goals are where they should be. |
How about the cost of procurring the original yorkies. I'm just not understanding your concerns.
I bought my original dogs. I breed them. I cannot keep them all. The original healthy dogs that I bought are producing the babies, so how does, what I charge for the puppies, make my parent dogs lessor quality, or change my goals? I am still using the same dogs, and my goal is still the same, and the money that I make changes nothing.
I still take care of my dogs, I am still interested in their health and welfare, they are first and foremost my pets.
