What makes a person qualified to be good enough to care for a pup with medical problems? money is a very small factor- why should a pup who will need more than average vet care cost so much to buy? wouldn't it make more sense to sell the pup for 7500 less because chances are the medical bills will be more than this in the future for this pup? (I say this because the seller admitted that the pup has a soft spot in its head, it is very small, and the seller doesn't even know if it had certian tests that small pups apparently need)
I guess I don't understand why you believe the more you pay for a pup, the better qualified you are to take care of the pup?
I have seen/read here people giving up things they have needed to care for their pups.... money has nothing to do with love- at least that is what my parents taught me.

I do not think this puppy will need any more expensive care than the average yorkie. An open fontanel is not life threatening and most dogs live completely normal lives with them.
The rationale behind a person who is willing to spend a lot on the pup being better able to care of it is that
they see the value in the dog and are willing to pay the price...i.e., what the dog is worth. If you sold him for $500, the person may think twice about soending $1500 if it needed vet care for something later. They may just decide, as a lot of people do when faced with that decision, to just put the dog down and get another.
We are all faced with financial decisions every day, some bigger than others...whether to buy a house or a car, and if you own an expensive car that is worth $50,000 for exmple, then you are more willing to pay to get it fixed than if it is only worth $2500 and not worth fixing.
