I think that yorkie puppies from BYB or petstores are way over priced but also feel that the prices that reputable/ethical breeders are fair or too low for all they do to insure your pup is healthy.
Those that breed any two dogs with no health testing, and the bare minimal vet care..... IMO do not justify the high prices of their pups.
The cost of a healthy litter goes up when the proper health testing, medical care..... is added. That is why I have no problems with the prices that the "ethical" breeders charge. Knowing that they have spent extra to do these things and also provide a health guarantee to me makes me feel like their pups are a bargain. Piece of mind is priceless. |
