I've seen such a huge amount of difference in prices for Yorkies since I started looking. Anywhere from 400-2000.00 (I'm sure there are ones pricier than that) My questions are: first, what amount would you say is reasonable for a Yorkie baby.
Does buying a pup with AKC or AKA better assure a person that you're not donating to the puppy mill problem? Or does it simply mean you can show a dog if it's AKC.
If a dog is AKC or AKA does that mean that you're less likely to run into huge genetic issues which can affect a pups health?.
thanks I'm still learning up on all this.
