If a breeder were to make any money they would have to sell their pups for the prices that most on here find outrageous. It is what I paid and what i get criticized for paying all the time. If you do a search on here of the threads where breeders were asked their costs...it was $1000 to raise a pup to 12 weeks which is the acceptable age to leave the nest. This amount is without including a dime for their time. If you include their time at minimum wage it comes to about $2000 per pup.
I want my breeder to make the puppies her priority and give them constant love, attention and care from before they are born until they leave for their forever home. If they cannot make enough money raising yorkies and have to work outside of the home and cannot afford or have supplemental help then I do not feel the puppies are getting the care they deserve. Sorry but that is my opinion. Sorry of it hurts felings but I am looking out for what is in the best interests of those babies and their momma, not the breeder.
