I do not breed Yorkies and have never bred Yorkies. But I have an idea on what goes into breeding. Do you have any idea what costs go into breeding? What extra tests reputable breeders have done on the dogs they breed? (and I do mean reputable breeders not BYB's)
I have always been a firm believer in you get what you pay for in all things. And I believe that is true when buying a Yorkie (or any other breed). |
You did this because you wanted your dog to come from a breeder that put every effort into making sure your puppy had a head start in life and brought you many years of happiness and vice a versa.
