You get what you pay for. |
You are right, but you also want to make sure you are not paying more for a substandard yorkie or one with health problems. I know someone in my area selling a pup for 4,800 and the parent and probably the grandparents are not even champions.
And then person was looking for a pup cheap and even stated - and "the dog is a dog!" I wonder how this person would care for the pup. He also had other dogs and stated "I go to the vets every month with them." Sounds like he may have already had health probelms with the ones he had - maybe because he bought cheap.
