There is a new complaint from a woman who just purchased a 4 year old female Yorkie for $2700 that needed to be spayed and extensive dental work. I'm a very hard working hobby breeder/exhibitor (sometimes wannabe exhibitor) ,trying to do things correctly, but I have to say it dents my spirit to have people begrudge me $1500- $2000 for my champion sired puppies when this woman is pulling in that kind of money for dogs she won't even back up with any kind of paperwork. I'm not usually a jealous, envious person, but this is really bothering me today.
ps. decent breeders take very little money for their retiring adult dogs, I take no money at all and am grateful to have lovely homes to send them to. |
Honestly I will tell you, when I googled Yorkies Massachusetts to find my puppy her site was one of the first ones I called , her site looked great , I was uneducated as to what to look for, I think its a matter of supply and demand!! If you decide on a yorkie and her site appears it looks great , sounds great, she has a wondeful tone when you call so people in Massachusetts keep her in business....
I emailed her a couple times because I didnt want a puppy , I was looking for a retired breeder or a dog that needed to be rehomed and I was willing to pay whatever fee was associated, I looked high and low and could not find one, I met all the critera too, I have older children a good income I can afford the vet , I am home all day but still I could not find one!! When you really want a puppy and she has so many to offer thats how people get taken in!!! I see people EVERYDAY and they said OMG I have been looking for a yorkie, where did you get her and tell them they want the number, ( she wont be breeding for another year) but I wish I knew a reputable breeder because my friend wants one so badly with OUT the 2000.00 price tag. It seems in Mass that 1800.00 -2500.00 is what is out there! I took Laci with out papers from a SO SO breeder for 950.00 , I am lucky she is healthy with no problems but I probally would have gone to a few more places if they had been available!! If you can PM me your info I have a very good friend who could provide a GREAT life to a puppy, she owns a home, works part time, has no children and is very well off, she just cant seem to find one LOCAL
