Yikes, did someone post that Yorkies are overpriced? I've never heard of a breeder having an "unwanted" one to give away either. I can only speak for myself, but I know how much time, effort and money go into my breeding, and I think my pricing is very reasonable. I keep my puppies as long as I need to in order to send them home to a situation I like. I've been poor and I don't like it, and I'm sorry for anyone who's struggling with money, but I can't send a puppy home with someone I feel would have a hard time affording a vet bill. I'm in a very expensive part of the country and it doesn't take much to run up a vet bill upward of $1000.
