Is it also right that over the years, the prices of purebred yorkies has skyrocketed? Not everyone can afford this, so where do they stand? Only the wealthy being able to own a dog? It seems to me that stronger laws need to be in place for breeders to ensure that overpopulation needs to stop & to ensure the health of these dogs. Not everyone is interested in showing, breeding, competition, status, etc. Not to say that's wrong, but fairness to all. |
What's really has skyrocketed is the price of designer dogs, not purebreds, another thing that has skyrocketed is the cost of vet care, maybe if you can't afford to buy from a good breeder, you should wait awhile, because vet care can end up costing way more than the dog itself. I believe that the ones we need to be fair to - is the dogs.
