I look through my local paper- have gone to look at some of these 1-$1,800.00 puppies many of them come from folks who nothing about the breed. When asked about the price am told this is what we are charging beacuse other people around here are. Does not matter if the dog is AKC, UKC or Apri- just beacuse it is a yorkie they are going to get their share of the pie. They care nothing about the breed or the puppies. They are selling 6 week old puppies for more then a 12 week old baby from me who has had shots, been to the vet and has a health warranty. You see this everywhere in all the different breeds. |
I find this also in my area. Let me give some pet consumers a tip!! I have breeders friends all over the United States. Breeders one would consider quality breeders verus quanity. The going rate for a pet/companion Yorkie from a quality
breeder is $800 to $1,500. IMO no matter the blood-line one should never have to pay more than that for a pet. Yes there are quality pets available for those prices. Beautiful specimens from quality parents! I think it is terrible when we see prices such as wnalegria describes. Price does not always denote quality!
