The Continental Kennel Club have taken yorkies on limited registration and registered them CKC and bred them anyway so the adds are now overwhelmingly CKC reg. Then the AJC went from charging for ads to having FREE ads. Well, that may seem good but it's loaded with out of the country people selling "Tiny AKC female $125" Yeah, it's gotten to be a real challenge to educate people about the value added especially when you can see the environment your puppy grew up in. They go and send money to someone out of the country and maybe not even get a puppy! Then they call back after they've been burned and are almost angry with me because the better deal would have been to get their pup locally. I have a 5 month old male from Dec. and 5 month old female (3lbs full grown) from Jan. I priced them lower because of the economy but still a very hard sell. |
Hi, i'm near the Atlanta area and I'm wondering how much you are selling your Yorkie's for? I have a 9 month old Yorkie that I rehomed so I got him for a very decent price. I would love to have another one but can't afford to pay some of the high prices that I've seen. My husband thinks I'm crazy for wanting another one but would love for Harley to have someone to play with! He is the love of my life :>)
