it's not a case of not wanting them to ask the price- its just whenever it is the first thing they ask- like they are asking a shop assistant how much a box of chocolates is!
of course the 1st of the examples above would probably have more time... but, when the eg.1 is home all day, do they spend All their time with the dog, or is it locked in the other room because it was the one who is working that Really wanted it? maybe being at work during the day eg.2 will devote more time and Attention to the dog when they return Because they are out- whereas eg.1 because they see the dog 24/7 doesnt feel the need to talk to or play with it...
i know that was just an example, and i'm not trying to 'have a go' at you, its just that if this was the case, then eg.2 - the one that didn't ask price as the first thing said, may very well be the more devoted Because they work...
but, every placement is different as everyones lives and priorities are... but when i get an email saying
'hi,
how much r ur pups?
thanks,'
i tend to get too much of a bussiness deal type feel from them in their initial mail and response- although i always email back and talk to them for as long as they will reply (be it by email or phone- and usually both), but it does usually end up being a bargin shopper- who just says 'i know, i know' to EVERYTHING said about mills, but hangs up and probably goes there anyway, becasue their pups are still registered... with the 'dog lovers club' that i could reg my corgiX with as a mini labrador!

and chocomilk, i know this thread may indeed sound a bit upity to you, sorry about that... but as a rule, if someone hasn't looked into how much on average a yorkie Should cost if raised right, then (to me) they havn't researched enough to be getting one at all- and i have said that to some - got swore and yelled at and hung up on by some, have been allowed to explain in detail why to others... many of whom recontact me again after doing a bit of reading...

many have realised the difference in quality that comes with a higher price (as a rule) but genuinely don't care- because all they care about is having enough left over to go out at the weekend, and if thats how they budget concerning their dog, they maybe don't deserve one.
