As a breeder what I see all to often is the expectations for a lower priced Yorkie are unrealistic for the most part. Some specifically ask for a puppy is that they want it they want it NOW, and it to be a 'teacup' and a 'baby doll face', oh, and they can only afford $500
. What happends is they bounce from breeder to breeder in search of this Yorkie. When they do come across the one with the right price they buy it. I see so many with health problems and tempermant issues. I think there are good healthy Yorkies for less money than I sell my pups for but it can take a while. Too many people are impatient and want it NOW and in the process of searching they forget what to look for in a breeder and just focus on price.
When I was looking for my Yorkies I quickly realized it was gonna take me a long time to get what I wanted. I opened a savings account and put money into it each pay to save my money. It took 4 years to get the Yorkies I wanted for my breeder program. It's not that I didn't have Yorkies to chose from they were everywhere, but in looking around I quickly realized the less expensive ones were not what I wanted to use in my breeding program. This was the hardest lesson for me to learn PATIENCE. I am such an impatient person with most things. But I have no regrets. I could not as for a better group of Yorkies and Biewers that's for sure!
Ok..you guys can wake up now..i'm done.
.(sorry it was so long..lolol)
