Question about puppy pricing We've already had some inquiries as to how much we will be asking for our new puppies. We have homes lined up for 3 of them already, to friends or family members, and we are just giving those away. We certainly didn't expect to have 10 babies to try to adopt out. And we sure aren't doing this for any profit...however, I don't want to simply give all of these pups away, since we will be spending money on them for food, supplies, vet care, etc. And I believe that it is much more likely that the pups will have a better chance of being taken care of if they are purchased, rather than just gotten for free. So my question is this: What is a fair price to ask for the pups? Lilah (mommy) is without papers, but daddy has papers, so the pups are definitely just family pet quality. Thanks for the help!

I don't really know what you should charge. We have small ones(under 7 lbs) that we can buy here for $400 for males and $500 for females. |
I would estimate all the total vet care and supplies for all of the pups and divide it by how many puppies you have. |
Do you think $200 is a fair price for puppies with no papers? |
I think that is a fair price. When selling them make sure to have them sign a spay/neuter contract. 10 pups, WOW :eek: You must have about fell over when the pups kept coming. :D |

What a surprise! lol |
I think $200 is priced too low even without papers. I would be concerned with what kind of people you would get adopting at that low price. I would price them at $500 |
I agree $200 seems too low. I bought my morkie, which is a mixed breed for $400 and obviously there was no papers with her. I would say since they are purebread even w/out papers you should be able to get $300-$350 out of them easily. The main thing is to make sure they are going to good homes! |
Price is also dependent on supply and demand. Since you are located in Missouri, you may have to charge less than other states. Most rescues charge about $300. |
You all have to remember..for one thing, we're in a recession, people don't have a lot of money. Another thing is the parents are both way over standard, and with no papers. Here you can buy (with papers) a full yorkie under 7 lbs for $400-$500. When people are looking for yorkies, they're (for the most part) looking for a smaller one, so, I think $200 would be a fair price |
Yes, things are really tight right now. Here in Missouri prices are running low. I plan to selling my boys (this time) with papers for 550.00 and they will be in the 3-5 lb range. So, I think 200 - 250 without papers for your bigger yorkies is a good price. |
I think the price is very low, but I agree that it is suiting being that there are no papers and they are quite a bit over standard size. That being said though, be very careful. If you advertise yorkies at that price, you will have people knocking down your door, and many of them will want to buy them just to resell. Our first yorkie that didn't work out for our family was a "bargain" yorkie. Way over standard size and $250. Well, we were going to go back and get another one for my grandma, and she said that someone came and bought the rest, one person did. That happens so often because they will just turn around and resell them, so make sure that you really really get to know people. Once you put a price like that on them and advertise, don't be surprised if you get litterally hundreds of people inquiring. You will have no problem being able to be picky about where they go. Some people can be very deceptive, so be careful! |
