Personally, I think the reason some mixed breeds sell for so much is because of the rich and famous buying them and making the news, magazine, etc...
There are so many puppy mills near me selling shorkies, morkies, shichons, cavatzu's, etc...that I could puke. They charge up to $3500 for these dogs.
Just because you have an AKC registered yorkie does not mean you are above anyone else. Unless you're a breeder, more than likely the only reason you bought a registered yorkie is because you want the right to say he/she is "registered". Oh my! At the end of the day, do you think any of our little dogs care? As long as they are well cared for by responsible pet parents that is all that matters. So, I'll keep my little mutt and continue to love him just like you all love your AKC yorkie! Raley has yorkie hair and a little smushy face that I love dearly! |
I have 2 full breed yorkies and in no way would I ever think I am better than anyone. I did not buy a full breed for bragging rights I bought them because I ablsolutely love the look of the yorkie. I also have had mixes through the years that I have loved dearly. All dogs to me are precious.
