THAT IS SO TRUE.
I don't disclose the price that I paid for my yorkies because there really is no price tag for the love they've brought me as far as i'm concerned. I've paid a pretty penny for
some of mine. I try to be fair and offer my babies at a price that is relevant to the care and love they have received in my home. I once saw a yorkie for 400 dollars that in my opinion was top of the line. But on the contrar he was being offered by a breeder who was getting out of the business. I think the price tag should have alot of bearing on the breeder as WELL as the puppy. JMHO. So many breeders are offering tiny puppies for 2000 and up. I don't go for that, nor do I think it's fair. You will get what you pay for as far as the breeder, the parents they chose to mate and the overall care and guarantee that comes with any paticular puppy. Most GOOD breeders cannot possibly sell their precious babes for under a thousand and still be able to continue with a healthy breed program. Some may be able to...but it's not realistic if you're looking for healthy yorkies from a breeder who has not only put her puppies number one, but her parents and grandparents of the babies as well!
