These people are byb that are CKC registered that obviously don't know or care about the health or lines of this dog, and the fact is that breeding is a very huge responsibility, not to mention expensive. So if you think $500 is a lot of money for a purebred yorkie, you have no idea how much breeding is going to cost.
Please please do more reading on here before you decide to get a pup which is a lifelong commitment.
But to your OP, have you even gone to the person's home to look at the pups or are they just sending you grainy cell phone snapshots? |
Great Post....
No, by all means $500.00 isn't a drop in the bucket expecially now days. But $500.00 dollars for a CKC is still too much money. I'm not sure how much research you've done on Yorkies.....but, not the going rate for a well-bred, healthy, good speciman of the breed.
Yorkie-poo no matter how you toss the dice is a mixed breed dog......As far as I'm concerned people that are selling them for high prices (since they aren't purebreds) are breeding just for $$$$.
As asked above, have you met this breeder in person and seen the pups.
So, you're looking to breed....Any reputable breeder would not sell you a pup for breeding purposes without knowing you.
