Pugs are cheap? Are you kidding! My friend Rachel bought a little Pug (she named him Puggles LOLOL how cute is that!!!) and he cost her WAY MORE than my Yorkies cost me (Tia was $1,600 and Kaite (RIP) was $1,200)!! She paid $3,500 for him!! My co-worker John (another huge animal lover like me) has 2 cutie pie sharpies (not sure if spelling is correct lol) and he spent $6,000 for the girl and his partner just bought him a little boy so that the girl would have a friend and he cost $4,800. All these dogs were bought from quality breeders -- NOT pet stores. So to say that just Yorkies are expensive is not accurate. I also know of a great breeder of Labs in New Jersey and she charges a set price of $1,500 (doesn't matter if it's male or female). Her price only goes up if she has complications with the litter or the pup requires any special extra vet care. When my dad bought his first German Shepherd years ago (he was a beloved family pet for 13 years -- rest in peace Blacky) he paid $1,000 for him and that is going back almost 20 years ago. |
