I know when I brought my first yorkie... this was many years ago.... i actually looked for the most expensive one.... thinking it would be the best. And I should have researched more but I ended up paying $3500.00 for a little girl. She was a liver shunt baby from the time she was 4 months and I spent thousands on medical bills alone before she died at 2 years old. When I decided to start my breeding program.... I really took my time and spoke to many breeders and I am so happy I did that. I still spent a lot for my babies but they are all worht it! Healthy and beautiful..... that is my most important criteria.
I think what we all are trying to say here is ..... you can't put a price on love but this 'breeder' is NOT ethical and way overpriced. |
Totally agree, I knew the puppy I was going to pay the outrageous price for was not even close to standard, but he was so precious and would have been well worth it. (for me)
PS
I don't condone breeding tinies for tinies.
