$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..
Okay like I stated I am not for or against "designer dogs". But I really believe that paying $1200 or at least $650 for one is nuts. I would never pay that amount for any puppy that is not purebred. The highest I would be willing to go on a yorkie or any other purebred is $1000 since its would only be a pet. You know some of the stuff you post it really makes me want to choose sides and I would hate to take a stand on something like this since I think yorkieneses are beautiful. This breeder that does this only sale her's for $350 and that is a great price for a good pet. Of course I am not going that route, but if I did that would be the highest I would pay.
