Wink I'm in Florida and is not cheap

Hi
I just have to kind of disagree with Misty, I think it depends where do you live regardless of the state. I live in Florida Naples area and you can not find a Yorkie for Less than $900. I could drive to Tampa and get one for maybe $500. but not for someone reputable, I even try miami area I think $650 was the cut off. I had been doing my homework for a year and still ended up driving a little bit over 2 hrs to get mine and it was over $900. I believe breeding is a hard job. Veterinary expenses, food , and heartbreakes which are price less, I do believe is outrageous to pay over $2000. for a puppy but, I understant breeders when they charge, because it is hard to maintain good healthy puppies. and at the same time there is so many unwanted animals, we can just adop and is cheaper. I guess it depends on a persons choice, pay if you can & want or don't want to & can't adopt. I also believe if they are been breed just to breed and make a quick few bucks why bother. I do want a puppy from someone that is breeding for championship, someone that is breeding to better the breed and not just to have pupies .when I look back at how much I paid for my baby I don't regret it. I have a sweet healthy baby, that was worth every penny & more Is not that I have anything against mix breed dogs, animals are all cute & sweet regardless of pedigree or championships. but when I look some breeders is sad as to why some of them are doing it..
