None of my puppies leave before 4 to 6 mos. when I start to advertise them. I have over a thousand in each puppy before they leave, and all the stuff I buy for them to go to their forever home is another 300.00 to 500.00 to make sure they have everything in their new home that they have here.
Needless to say I am not a very good business woman, my heart is way to big and the love I have for this breed runs very, very deep. I spend so much money on these little ones to stimulate them, give them the best of diets, not to mention all the , toys, play houses, exercise pens, beds, blankets, sweaters,etc. etc. I could cut back, but choose not to. When the people leave with their new puppies they need a truck to pack all their stuff in that I give them. Their is nothng more special in the world than a yorkie puppy, and spoiling them is the easiest thing you will ever do. The hardest thing I have to do in this business is part with the puppies. |
I think this is the reason pet stores, mills and brokers make money because they choose not to do all of the extra things, because they have no heart. So for them it's all about the profit, not about the puppy's well being. That is another reason I also could never be a breeder, 1. I would NEVER sell the puppy
2. I have too big of a heart and would spend twice as much on each pup than the selling price and 3. I would die if I saw my dog eat her own placenta
