Puppy Prices

[KCDarcy]

I paid $50 for my newest Yorkie from a rescue. He is a year and a half old - perfect health, no papers. All my Yorkies have been rescues. They have all been purebreds. Two had papers, the rest did not.

I call them my little garage sale babies.

My boy was $350 at 2 years old and all he came with was him! We got him from another family that couldn't keep him. He did come potty trained (although, there was a set back once he got here) and from a family with small kids (which we needed). All of those things were worth gold to me.

I have a litter of AKC Yorkie pups.I'm in orlando, Fl. I sold 2 already 1 M 1 Fm.The Fm was 1.1 the M 2.1 at 10 weeks.Had the shots Health Cert.I only Breed 1 Fm in are Family Home.I sold are Fm pup for $1100 And the Male for $900 I think that was a good price they were cute as could be Teddy Bear Faces short body.I give at least 7 to 10 hours a day with my pups.so If you add the vet cost and the time put in you really see I'm a small time puppy Breeder.We do it because we love Yorkies and are Honey is so cute everyone ask for one of her pups.So we want to share what we have with others.When they come out looking like mine do you Love Yorkies so much to make someone elce enjoy that to in their life.All in all I will make about 800.00 off this deal of 4 pups 2 Fm 2 M.I home school my daughter who has Spinal Bifida and try to use the $ made to save for her Medical care after she turns 18.So not every Breeder is a bad one.But the ones who are Puppy mills make it hard for a small timer like me to even make a $1000 out of the litter.Wish you all the Best of Luck with your Baby Yorkie Buys.Check thing out before you buy a puppy.Make sure you are really getting what you paid for.

I know prices on everything is different everywhere, but I didn't realize how outragious dogs are. Here at the most a tiny akc yorkie with chanpionship bloodlines, microchip, genetic tests everything you people are paying thousands for run around $800.00 and that is for top breeders not backyard breeders. And alot of you buy the dog at such a high price that they tell you if you want breeding rights that's another $200. Did you know to akc register a puppy only cost around $20 bucks. Now who's getting scammed?

[bchgirl]

The cost of registering a litter with AKC remains the same regardless if later on...the puppies themselves have full registration or limited. I highly doubt the cost of registration has anything to do with someone providing breeding rights.

I'd be real interested to know the breeders information who provide all that you mentioned for $800. too.

There is no doubt in my mind that you are one of those high priced breeders! That's not a bad idea though. You could buy their puppies and sell them for a couple of thousand each.

I dont want to sound mean i have been a breeder for alot of years and i have had show and pet babies. Also from Champion bloodlines .. I do all the testing as well and give them alot of gifts.. Only if i have a C-Section is the only reason i raise the price a few dollars.. You can have a great yorkie rather it is 400 or 4 thousand . the most reason that breeders raise the high dollar is greed.. I dont want to hear that it is not because of the money .. People know everyone wants a sweet little yorkie and anything over $1200. is just way to much... I have went down on prices at times way down because there are people that would make great mommy and daddys to a yorkie but just dont have that kind of money to give at one time... If it makes you feel better taking all of this money from people the go ahead.. I bet if you would go to some of these places on line you will find they are just back yard breeders and others trying to make a buck... Wake up people.... everyone likes money.....

Why would you think I'm a breeder? You volunteered puppies were readily available. I was merely inquiring.

Brodi Mom, thank you so much, you just made my point for me. I always hear how the backyard breeder is a scam. But all of you breeders that charge an outragious price, you are the ones that're the scammers. I don't see how you can live with yourselfs. Yorkies are a wonderful breed, and like Brodi Mom said, there's alot of good mommys out there that can't afford such a price. To be honest even if I could afford it I would not pay $2000 for a puppy. What's the point, just to be able to say it cost so much. If people would stop paying these high prices I assure you they would drop. And you could still get the same quality puppy for a whole lot less.

This happened to me last weekend.
I was invited to a baby shower. The girl wanted a particular swing. Target had it for $169 but, Walmart had the exact same swing for $119. This swing is a material thing, not a living breathing furbaby. My point is, everyone who is purchasing a puppy has GOT to do their homework and be responsible when purchasing a pet. Yes, the prices are going to vary, there is usually a reason for that. My baby was expensive, I know that. But, she is what I wanted and I had been looking for 6 months before I found her. I know I didn't get ripped off by the price I paid.

[gerry]

bchgirl, so you are NOT a breeder?

[Brodi mom]

Gerry if you want a yorkie email me and i can fix you up .. or help you find one. or if you want to chat email me anytime.

How is it a waste of money if that is what she wanted? They may be a genetic defect as you stated, but they sure are adorable. I think if someone is wiling to spend their hard earned money on something they love, whats the problem?
