I paid $1,000 for my dog and she ended up coming from a broker who got there puppies from a puppy mill and she has had many many issues but to me is perfect. I will know in the future if I get another puppy how to go about getting one from a reputable breeder thanks to YorkieTalk but I am so glad to have my baby. I am so happy I got her and not someone who would never take care of her issues and love her even with all her faults. |
Thank you! I've always questioned if her breeder was a broker because if the price I got her at. She was so nice and we met the parents and her two other siblings. The parents were obviously the real parents though because the mom did go into the crib they were in and fed them. I had a family member that new her so we did get $100 off. We were very close the first year we had Cuddles. The breeder also said she only has one or two litters a year. There was one more litter after Cuddles but she said that was it. Cuddles matured to be 6.5 pounds. Do you still think that she could've still been a broker? It's always confused me...
