| Well, the main reasons I decided to not consider the above listing, was because one, the teacup thing, plus, I am sorry, but I dont understand how some of these ppl can breed their dogs for 4 or 5 years, and then once theyre done breeding them, just get rid of them and sell them for no other reason other than they cant breed them anymore. They should be their family, and they should love them their whole lives.
Secondly, when I saw they were selling a Yorkie for $7500, it completely made me not want to buy a dog from them. When you make a price that high and so far out of someones range except for exceptionally wealthy ppl... My car didnt even cost half that much... then you obviously are more worried about cash than the welfare of the puppy. You're basically looking for a Paris Hilton to buy your dog. I just hope that someone with money AND love can afford that dog.
I refuse to spend anything over $1000. I would rather the person I am getting the dog from know that I can love my dog, spend time with them, and afford their vet bills, and not just the dog.
I got Roxy for $600 and she is barely 4lbs. The reason I got her for that price was because the woman I bought her from knew that I just adored her and wanted her more than anything, so she gave me a reasonable price. She just wanted to make sure the person that loved her got her... and I am almost sure if I couldnt have afforded that, she might have went down quite a bit lower. It was a mutual agreement... Roxy is priceless to me, but I am glad that instead of paying off a dog for years upon years, I can instead pay for their shots and vet bills.
Sorry, its something I take pretty seriously. No dog should be free unless there is a good reason or a gift to someone you KNOW is going to take care of it... but cute adorable love shouldnt put you or the dog on the streets cause you cant afford it either.
On a different note...
Thank you for all your help. All of you. I really appreciate it all, not only the suggestions, but the feedback on all of your suggestions. I just want to make the best decision for Roxy. I am currently considering a Yorkie that a woman near me has that I really would love to have, but I am scared that she isnt completely committed. I can tell she loves her dog, but she also wants to do whats best for her, which I am grateful for that she doesnt want to just give her dog to the first person who can hand her over a load of cash. She wants to make sure that they will both be happy.
Any more suggestions, and I would love to take them into consideration. |
