I think his prices are at an all time high. 15,000 dollars for a yorkie? Who are you kidding? Now that I have studied the breed standard closely, looking at the dog I bought from him can't possibly be a purebred yorkie. Her hair is slightly curly, her ears lay flat against her head, and most importantly, HER EYES ARENT BLACK!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I have read yorkies are supposed to have black eyes.

I do know that some yorkies have curly hair, and not all yorkie ears stand up. As for the eyes, I'm not sure, I never really looked that info up. I know how you feel though.

I know exactly how you feel about the colors! With yorkie's I'm still learning a lot, but I know that boxers shouldn't have more than 1/3 of their color as white. This is usually a sign of inbreeding, and they are usually deaf and can have other problems. It would make me so upset to see a white boxer for sale Then you hear people claim how rare it is and how amazing it is to have a white boxer! I never saw the prices go up on them, but I never really paid attention to it. It would just make me upset how people would brag about the color and it's rareness (is that a word?) Of course it's rare..it shouldn't be done!

But yeah, why would someone pay more for a dog that shouldn't have been breed in the first place is beyond me. Alls we can do is pass info along to others, and hope more and more people do there research before they purchase.
