Now I find out that because I adopted him from a rescue and didn't pay $3000+ for him he is considered a lesser dog. I don't care if his head isn't the perfect shape, or his legs aren't long or short enough, or his coat isn't as silky. What matters to me is that he's a sweet, happy loving dog who is content to sit on my lap all day, and makes my day that much brighter. If my dog isn't good enough for you, then I am probably not either. After all, I'm not a perfect size 2, my hair has split ends, my neck is too long and I've got a few scars and imperfections. If I were a yorkie, I guarantee that I wouldn't go for thousands of dollars. Sure I'm smart and nice, generous, funny and loyal, but I'm just a lesser human. Too bad. We could've been friends. |
I am confused as to why you are taking the defensive? Most of the people on this thread are saying that it doesn't matter how much you paid your yorkie. My personal opinion is that so long as you are happy with what you paid for your dog, which is your own business, then so be it. I don't think that anyone is insinuating that the more expensive, the better but it shouldn't be said that just because you paid more you got ripped off either. Once again, JMO, it is between you and who you purchased your dog from what you paid. I hope you look at this thread from all sides. I'm not a size 2 either, I am short and I feel that I need to lose some weight. I have made some very wonderful friends here and I have gotten some very valuable information about yorkies, that should be what is important. I hope you stick around, we all can be friends.
