How Much Did You Pay? - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shanatink · 08-05-2005, 02:04 PM

I just happened upon CHloe one day. I was out running errands and came home with a yorkie. And a tiny one too so I feel pretty lucky since I only paid $750 for her. I paid $200 for my chihauhua Tinkerbell and $250 for my Boxer, Penny. They were all worth it and so much more!

Lmf · 08-05-2005, 02:15 PM

I had looked for a yorkie for months and finally one popped up in the paper. I called on it and ended up knowing the breeder (I had no clue she bred). She lives 20 min. away and I go and play with my puppy at least 3x a week. The breeder is more than I could have ever asked for and she has been nothing but great! Next tuesday she comes home with me! I paid $1000 for her and she is worth every penny!

Rika came from a woman in NJ whose two Yorkies accidentally bred. I got her for $300. (Best $300 I ever spent, IMHO.)

Zeke was 375$ Chelsey was 600$...I joke with my wife about them both, but I know she is dead serious when I ask her if she would take a million for them..and she firmly replies... No!

I paid $800 for Chloe last year and drove 6 hours to Atlanta to get her. I paid $2500 for Lacey, I'm not sure of why she was so high, other than she is a 3lb, beautiful little girl with a champion sire. They are both beautiful yorkies, worth every penny.

1998, Chocolate Lab from pound - $200
2004, CKC Yorkie(f) 5 lb - $1200

No pet stores, all from individual breeders who we checked out thoroughly(except the fish which come from a Marine Store) But the Lab from the Humane Society who is the biggest Lab EVER - 105 lbs and not really fat, just HUGE - and the vet says shes all Lab.

The 2 Yorkies & the Devon were shipped. The Persians we acquired at shows.

Holy cow!! And my husband thought I was bad. I have a saltwater tank and I have proboly lost at least $500 in fish. We wont spend more than $20 on a fish anymore. Something bizarre always happens to them. But I love gettign new animals. I have a small house so I am maxed out right now.

1000 dollars for a cat lol my came from outside yours must be beautiful !! (i think mine are too but show cats WOW)

goldcupmom · 08-05-2005, 05:06 PM

They were pretty special cats. We showed, and bred. One of our grandbabies is the 'fancy feast' cat. Then I had a son who is horribly allergic and we didn't find out until he was 5. Bye Bye cats. But the Devon is hypoallergenic.

DD's fish are WEIRD!!! One committed suicide (jumped from the tank) another got eaten, one went into the coral & forgot how to turn around & drowned. One our pump went out. . . I HATE fish! but she wants to be a marine biologist, so loves them.

I would have a zoo if I could. My oldest brother pretty much does. When I was a kid he had a galapagos turtle as a footstool (live) and a great snow owl that lived loose in his house. He is an ornithologist, is on the presidents environmental council, is the consultant for NASA on birds & the space shuttle, has written tons of books, travels all over, has a tv show in MS. I grew up with frozen dead animals in the freezer that he was studying.....

I bought Ruby($1300) from a broker and picked her up my self in a town nearby never to be done again( the broker part)
I bought Valentino my pomeranian for $500.00. I went to pick him up here in modesto.

puppyfind.com has lots of diff breeders all over the us with diff prices. you can search by small dog, type of dog, or state. really cool. fyi take your time and really look closely. some breeders charge outragous prices and some dont. i looked on that site about 2 hours before i found my precious one at the right price. now that i have him i've found cheaper ones but who knows for sure what you get online. i figured god sent me my baby because they all really look alike but something made me keep looking til i found him. not sure how many pages i look thru.
