Interesting question about the amount of money charged for the Parti.. I'm not sure why that has anything to do with why there should or should not BE Parti yorkies but I understand that some maybe upset that the Parti SEEMS to be comanding more $$ than a traditional yorkie.
Actually.. If I wanted to buy an exceptional quality Yorkie.. I believe I would also be paying top dollar.. a female that was of amazing lines, with full registration, I'm sure I would pay much more than I have ever charged for any of my tri colored dogs. I do not sell any of my yorkies for breeding, but for Pet only.. my carriers I sell for exactly the same price I sell my yorkies..and I neuter all my males before they leave my home.
I'm not sure what the rules are on putting prices on the forum.. but I would be more than happy to put an example of my prices on here.. they are very very similar for my yorkies as for my tri colors.. they are all just as adorable (in my opinion)
There is also something called supply and demand.. I just had a little tri girl on my site.. I put her on and had people actually fighting over her.. the price was a bit higher than I would place on a smaller yorkie but I could have placed 5 of her without question.. WHY?? because she was cute.. people WANTED her.. We should not have to justify getting more money for our beautiful, well bred, stunning, lovley little dogs. Now.. of course, some people ask exceptionally high prices.. and people pay it!! WELL.. more power to them! Go ahead, ask it for your traditionally colored yorkies! I'm sorry if people don't pay it, you shouldn't knock others just because you don't get as much money for your dogs as they got for theirs???
I just had a litter of pups that was an "oops".. they were larger than standard, had a "terrier" nose, loving, wonderful "family" dogs but not something I would have bred for.. they were priced accordingly.. well under $1,000. Now.. I'm sorry.. but this argument to me just doesn't hold water..
Exceptional quality dogs, that are in demand, comand a higher price.. if people are happy with paying what is asked.. WHATEVER is asked.. then, that is their prerogative! I know my dogs are worth every single cent that someone pays for them and then some.
