My Mojo is from "show" parents and the breeder had show dogs.

Anyway, he is almost 4 years old (yes, I can NOT believe it) and I only paid $500 for him. Of course, the price now has doubled w/ the breeder for a male dog - as her prices for females. I do not know why she was so low on her prices back then. He had all of his history, testing, etc. And I had to give pages of references, family yesterday, etc. ((which I didn't mind at all)).
Anyway, I just wanted to say, at one time....long ago in a land far away (hee,hee), you could have gotten the standard-show quality Yorkie for less. Course, those days are long gone, understandibly so. |
Mojo is beautiful and that was what I was trying to say in my earlier posts. I think everyone should have the right to have a show quality dog just for a "pet" without having to pay thousands of dollars. I understand certain bloodline will cost more, things like that. But, I think everyone should be able to have a yorkie that looks like a yorkie and it's just so sad to me that these days it seems 300-500 dollars, if you are looking for a "standard" size yorkie, most of the time, will not get you one that is top quality...I guess like with everything prices go up over time but sometimes, when I look back on the prices some people paid for their yorkies and think about what I paid for mine
Makes me want to go back in time!
