They should not all be priced the same just because everyone deserves a car. You get what you can afford. I know lots of people that can't afford or do not want to spend the higher prices still want Yorkies. That is why so many of the unscrupulous breeders wound up cutting corners to be able to offer cheap yorkies. It hurt the breed a LOT! You wind up seeing yorkies that look nowhere near the standard. You also wind up with mother dogs abused and puppies neglected. But the price is low. |
I agree. IMO, this is just like why the counterfeit designer handbag business came about. There are certain things in life that are luxury, that are not meant for everyone to have. If you can't afford it, you dream about it, but bad people come along and knock it off, lower the value of it, lower the integrity of it. Thanks to them, now you can carry around your puppymill yorkie in your fake Juicy dog bag for $250. Despicable!
