So glad to hear people finally stating on Yorkie Talk that breeders should make a profit.

I would expect any pet I would buy to be healthy but let's face it after the health issue looks play a big part in which puppy someone might purchase. Even among show breeders the price will vary based on how a dog looks. I have seen dogs from winning breeders that have heads that never clear, ears that do not stand upright or are to large for their head, or like my Murphy was light almost platinum, those dogs would not do well in a show ring so breeders sell them for less. I know I would never pay the same for a purebred yorkie with floppy ears and a dark face as I would for upright ears and a golden blond face and head.
