Had to put my 2 cents in here. What irritates me is when people generalize about other people. Breeders charging too much, people wanting cheap yorkies. Every case in unique and circumstances are different. You never know how much money a breeder has put into their line, and you never know all the circumstances behind a request for a 'cheaper' yorkie either. After paying medical bills and vet bills after Sophie died, I was dead broke. I found Lida in MO and a generous friend paid and provided transportation for me to get her for $200, now she doesn't have papers and theres a chance that she's got some chi in her, so the price was appropriate. But I was in desperate need of another baby and I couldn't love her anymore. As many of you know, little Lida Rose has had a tough time, but NEVER once was she neglected or denied the medical care she needed. I'm still paying off her vet bills. Would I like another? Oh, yes. Could I give one a great home? Of course. Will I ever be able to afford to spend $1000? Not in this lifetime, unless I win the lottery. But do I blame or fault any breeder that asks a lot of money for their pups? Never.
