You would be surprised at the people here that I have had PM's from the first things they want to know is she going to be tiny and price..  Tiny to me is no better than using teacup.
The last puppy I sold I was so impressed with the lady we talked for a long time on the phone and the price was the last thing she asked me. That is the kind of people I love talking to. Other things are more important than price and size. |
No, I'm not surprised that so many buyers ask about tiny Yorkies and the price.
I understand what you are saying about the breeders in your area. I just hold breeders to a higher standard when it comes to how they market and try and sell their animals. They are supposed to be the professionals and should be able to educate the buyers, not keep the bad terms going.
If a breeder has done their education, research and is breeding for the betterment of the breed. They should know what the terms mean and wouldn't be using them. I'm not saying they are all bad people by any means, but they wouldn't be the kind of breeder I would turn to for a puppy.
