What suprised me is all the back and forth about the price. Maybe because I'm in Southern California the pricing looked low to me. I guess the prices are different depending on where you live. If I could find a healthy pure bred Yorkie for under $600 I'd have more.
I paid $800 for Jazzie (yes I have a Jazzie - short for Jasmine) in 1998 at a pet store. I didn't know about puppy mills at the time either. She is AKC registered and has champion blood in her (2 champs) according to her petigree. She is healthy and happy and brilliant!
Then we got Jewel from a private breeder for $1400 in 2003. She has no champions in her bloodline and now has necrotizing enchephelitis.
So I guess I don't really have a point at all... Just didn't understand what all the fuss was about.
I'm happy you have potential homes for your babies. |
