What I get is all the breeding linage, heath checks ect. Nothing wrong with mixed breed dogs. I had some. My problem is ppl who purposely breed them. Its for money. Period. A mixed breed dog shouldn't cost more then a Champion show dog pup. But like i said before . Go to any purebred forum.. most will have the same opinions. But to the op. IMO $350 for a Morki no shots. Only u know its worth it. If you want it get it. But $1k or any outrageous amount. Hell no |
Paying over $1000 for a Morkie would be crazy, I do have to agree. Personally, I don't see a legitimate reason to hike it over $800, unless they did extensive health testing for whatever reason, and the parents were champions, or whatever. They are pretty hard to find, so I would say I'd pay up to $800 for one from a good breeder.
Yes, people breed for money. However, that doesn't mean they don't care about their dogs and where their pups go. In many cases, yea, I'm sure the breeders don't care. They're jerks. But the ones who do care are just fine.
