And she is. |
i always loved poodles.. and had one as a child... but the yorkipoo can look like a poodle like my lucy.. little black sheep.. but her babies are more yorkielike .. 2nd generation.. i have started a collection
of the different types of yorkipoos...lol...gus is a grizzly bear,
lucy is a sheep,
and izzy is a mini black yorkie with a white fu manchu beard..
$1200 is a fair price for the yorkiepoo..
but in todays economy , and with all the puppy mill
dogs flooding the market.. the price has fallen on most
dogs of all kinds.
$650 sounds like a reasonable price for a healthy yorkipoo
... when nice yorkies are selling for $800..
i guess you have to mass produce them like the puppy mills to make any money..
with all the vet bills associated with the sick puppies.. i think a healthy yorkipoo IS worth a thousand dollars.. but not from a petstore..
most people dont know about puppymills when they rescue one from a store.. but 99% of dogs in petstores come from mills.
a good breeder will have healthy dogs and keep them until 10-12 weeks.
well balanced and loved..
i wish i could afford a billboard to put in front of petland..
