Monies isn't the issue ..If it was about the monies ..I would not have not had his vet checks ..If all I cared was for the monies..I would have posted him in the news paper as a tea cup at 8 weeks of age .. |
About the $ purchase price. As a consumer or future pet owner, I would not consider to purchase a pup that did not come for parents with the health checks I mentioned.
Given those parents had those health checks, without the parents having earned at minimum a CH in AKC or CKC or FCI. I would not ever consider paying $1800 for a pup from these two. To me it is not enough that they are able to be registered with AKC or even that the sire and dam both came from parents with CH titles, I want the parents of my future pup to have "earned" the right to breed. Gone out into the ring, been evaluated by show judges, been assessed by other yorkie breeders and fanciers,e tc.
I purchased my pup from a breeder that trains her dogs, champions them and does all the health checks, and the sire who I only got to meet later was a CH from a long line of champions, also with the requisite health checks. My dog's Mom has a long list of obedience titles, as well as Rally and Agility titles. The sire is now a champion of three European Countries.
So comparatively speaking I would be looking for similar titles and health checks before even considering spending $1800 for a dog. And knowing what I do about the health risks of a very small dog, I would not entertain spending anywhere near that amount of money.
