Hello YT!

So I just wanted to put this out there. About two weeks agao, I went to a dog spa in Manhattan NYC and boy was I surprised at what I heard/saw. The owners were selling yorkie studs at $2800.00 a piece and selling bitches for $1600.00. When I asked about the price disparity, I was told that the bitches were "Older" meaning they were 5 months old vs. the studs who were allegedly going on to be 10 weeks old and for sale . I was outraged considering that these dogs did not appear to be from a reputable breeder and the response from the owner was not at all what I expected from a high end dog spa-For the record, my Hugo will never go in there! I just wanted to put that out there-high end doggie boutqiues and spas also help puppy mills! I knew that they were pupply mill dogs because the owner said that they were garunteed from a reputable AKC breeder but did not even know exactly where they came from and became defensive when I asked for the breeder information.
