My question is IF the price of a dog is supposed to reflect the amount of time, money in vetting, grooming, health testing, quality(i.e standard) why are parti yorkies continously sold for a higher price than yorkshire terrier? Certainly it is not because it takes more time/money/testing to raise a parti...? Should a dalmation with no spots cost more than one that meets the standard with all the variables the same with both dogs (same health testing, same time and money into vetting)?
I don't think anyone on here is trying to turn it into YTCA talk as some stated. There are some members on here very interested in working hard to preserve the breed standard and keeping color faults out. Both sides are very passionate about what they believe or what is stated as standard.
Just some food for thought. |
Exactly the show breeders and parti breeders both have honorable reasons for their stance and they will probably never see eye to eye. I dont get into the parti debate but those high prices give me reason for pause also. But I quess just like the yorkie breeders there are some parti breeders who are just in it for the money also
