I know a lot of breeders do that and I don't like that either.
I'm always reading on YT about the potential health risks with the smaller Yorkies, but yet so many breeders charge more for the smaller ones. So therefore it makes buyers feel they are more valuable.
My basic point is if breeders bred and sold Yorkies to be within the standard of 4-7lbs, there wouldn't be any reason in pointing out their size over and over.
My idea of the betterment of the breed is inline with what Nancy posted.
I think we have learned this week that it's not just BYBs, but also show breeders that can fall out of line with this! |
Most breeders do sell puppies according to size, color and sex. My boys and girls are still yorkies but I have to sell the males cheaper. It is life. Does that mean my girls are overpriced... no I think my boys are underpriced.
To think someone is profiting off 500 a pup is crazy! That would not even cover my vet cost.
Buyers want TEACUPS..buyers use this term more than breeders
