Think about it. Don't get me wrong.....I must get a fair price for puppies or I cannot continue....I guess it's like I said before....what one person thinks is fair.....another thinks it's overpriced. And that goes for the current trend of selling rare colors.....gold, brown or parti's or even "biewer"....if it's sold as a companion....then it's a darn shame to price them so high. And I love the parti-colored Yorkies. LOL
PS......I am a show breeder......I do have champion stock here....and I have three Yorkies from BIS parents.....but that's not really an excuse to demanded woefully high prices for pets. I am aware that many show breeders sell their pet puppies for $2,000 plus.....do you think that really makes them better pets?? No I don't think so!

PPS.....and i have been known to drop my price if a person convinces me that they would give the dog a forever and wonderful home...

My feelings exactly - when I see the high prices defended I just think about all the GOOD homes these yorkies are missing out on too.
The prices ARE NUTS FOR YORKIES and nothing anyone can say will make me think otherwise - If I were single - I would NOT HAVE a yorkie because there is no way I would be able to afford the prices I'm seeing lately ..THAT would really REALLY SUCK...I can't imagine my life without my girls -
