What exactly qualifies a Yorkie to be in the $8000 mark or down to $1000? I know it is a lot of money, but I knew I was paying for Health! She is perfect w/ NO health issues, but friends still look at me like a fool for paying so much for a dog. Can anyone relate to this? Thanks for your advice!!! Yorkie's ROCK!  |
sounds like you got what you paid for. sure, you can get a less expensive Yorkie but i doubt if you could get one like yours for less. I doubt if you could find a small female from a show breeder for much less even if she had a few flaws making her pet quality. Not saying you can't get a cute wonderful Yorkie for less.........Just show breeders that are working on perfecting the breed ask a lot of money for all of their years of work.
Might be cheaper in different parts of the country??? but I think you did well! In California if you wanted that quality of dog you might have to get on a waiting list
AND pay a little more.
