In my oppinion Both are of good quality and represent the breed standards. Yorkies in Ohio cost much less which doesn't mean that they are of poor quality. They just cost less.... |
I live in Ohio, and I think Ohio is like anyplace else. You can find BYB and "cheap" Yorkies or you can find reputable breeders who are breeding for the right reasons. It isn't that a Yorkie has to cost a fortune, but if a breeder is breeding for the right reasons and breeding the right way certain costs are involved. There are plenty ways for people who can't afford to pay a lot to adopt dogs, through shelters and rescues without having to buy from breeders who may sell cheaply due to questionable breeding practices.
Some of the Yorkies and other breeds that cost "less" in Ohio are due to Amish puppy mills.
