I have noticed the price of Yorkies coming down in the paper. I think that even they are feeling the crunch! They are also dumping alot of problem breeders and older dogs at the pound. I remember years ago I was talking with a "breeder" and she told me that if the dogs cant pull their weight, she "gets rid of them". I know another "breeder" that breeds Papillons, chihuahua, and doxies. I asked her if she had a good vet if she needed a c-section. She told me that if a c-section was needed she would kill the bitch herself as she couldnt afford the surgery. Just makes your mind spin!!!
