People also object to people who breed for quantity and sell cheap.
FYI I also object to this practice, but only because these are puppy mills that don't take care of their dogs and sell their puppies too young.
For those of you who want a "designer' dog and don't like the price. Have you ever offered less to see if they would take it? With the economy the way it is, it's difficult to get a decent price out of a pure bred yorkie let alone a mixed breed. |
I personally don't agree with selling dogs for a major price either way. When I got Duke, the breeder was selling the males for 800, females for 1000. Because I was neighbors with the breeder, they actually decided to charge me only half of what they were for everyone else. That price then was pretty much an average for the breed, I think (I may be wrong)..They took great care of their dogs, had health screenings done, etc. the only thing they didn't do was show them. Now I have seen Yorkies being sold for up to 5000 from some people....I just don't see that as reasonable. It seems like because they became popular, people raised the price, just because there are people that will pay it.
