NO you misunderstood me.. If that is what she wanted to pay for them that was up to her.. Im saying the breeder knew better.. everyone wants something different i am no different.. I was just saying that the breeder knew that was just to much for something that was not a yorkie standard.. It has been noted that some of these babies will be deaf and health problems down the road and of course some genitics problem dont arrive until they are like 4 months and older... Im not saying that the public it self is bad im saying how dare the breeders charging thiis price ... for them.. and charging that price for a poor breed puppy . Im for the people not the breeders i am a breeder and i just saying the truth and the breeders that are selling these babies this high price knows it is just a defect... And before any one gets upset..im not saying your sweet little puppy is going to die or is not cute but just a defect...

I also have Blue and Tan 13 Year old male been fixed for years and a Blue and Tan Fm.My litter is Blue and Tan.I always said if there was ever a white Yorkie I would want one.When I typed it in on my computer it came up.Parti Yorkie my Husband and I fell in Love.So as a gift he bought me the 2 fm's and a male on the way.I'm home with my dogs and my Daughter every day and we Love them as if they were are children.So defect or not I LOVE MY PARTI PUPS.I think they may be the first Parti's in Florida.They are AKC reg. so they must be ok with the AKC guide lines somewhere or they wouldn't register them right.

I dont know there is no where on the akc reg for parti she proably has them under one of the others ..Im glad you love your babies and they are cute... and if you want them fine.. you should of checked into the Biewers yorkie.. good luck and enjoy your babies.. this was not about the breed it was about the cost...

I am in Canada, In Ontario. I have annabella yet.. she was born may 19th. the only surviver of a litter of 4. I spent hours with those baby's and so much money. You see small breeders that do not give shots themselves, and dock tails and remove dew claws pay vet bills..with that said.. my cost of each of annabella's shots was 75.00 here in ontario, time that by three parvo and then a rabies. my vet does not do the last parvo and the rabies at the same time.
I am also discovered that saying akc registered can mean a lot or very little.. for I have seen year ago puppy find that some yorkies did not look like yorkies and yet it said akc registered.. I do not go there now.. I found YT so when I need to just look at yorkies I come to the fourm..but I would like to get enough to cover a good bit of my vet bills.. for as a small breeder that does not have a large kennel, does not have a lot of pups in a year.. annabella got our full attention, unlike times when I have gotten over the years for example a 7 month old that did not know what grass was..
there are so many many things to look at when buying a yorkie. health for a pet is to me far more important then papers..
In Canda I got a yorkie years ago, from a show breeder, got the female spayed as I was to, was told the dog had all her shots. she got parvo anyway, and even tho I had her spayed.. I have never seen her papers.. so with that said.. I think I am more honest then that. I also feel I have much more integrity..

There are several members here who own parti yorkies. They are recognized by AKC...and not registered under the standard coloring.

Thanks Brodi Mom!

You're right it's your money to spend. Example: If I were selling a brand new stove for $200 and someone else was selling the exact same stove for $2000 why would anyone rather pay the $2000. It doesn't make sense I don't care how much money you have!

I don't think that you can compare a stove to a dog. You can have exactly the same stove and then paying $200 for one and another person paying $2000 would be crazy. You would never have 2 dogs that are exactly the same. The prices are so different because of different things....one is where you live. Does are a lot more if you live in an area where the cost of living is more. I know people say they got their dog for $200 or $500 and sometimes they looks like a $200 or $500 dog (not always). There are the cases where someone could get a dog for $500 and another person for $5000 and they are just as beautiful, it does happen. Also, I know people don't like to talk about it but smaller ones (and females) are usually a lot more. All I know is that I got exactly what I wanted when I got Teddi and cost was not an issue....I love her and she is priceless to me

Your absolutely right..its my money. I will spend it on the quality and background of a dog over anything else. I had to give up a lot to get her, and to say that a 200 dog is the same as a 2000, I don't believe that to be true.

[gerry]

If you don't take care of your dog you can make a $2000 dog look like a $200 dog. Same goes around you can make a $200 dog look like a million bucks if you take proper care of it. But you know, to each his own, love whatcha got, just like if you had paid a million for it!

[chachi]

There are alot of determining factors on the price. Location, pedigree,health quarantee or not, and size are some

I think your missing the point. Yorkies are not all the same. Size, background, etc. You want to buy a stove for $200, well so do I!! You can dress up a $200 doggie all you want, it still doesn't change its background. Or maybe you got lucky and found the quality in a dog you were looking for and did not have to pay out of pocket. Sorry, but that is rare here.

Hey I do agree, Chino was very low in price, however I only had to pay for his medical cost. Dana does charge higher and I am sure knowing who his father is, she could have re sold him to me at a higher cost. But she didn't. When I called Dana about a boy from Chino's litter she didn't have anymore (of course I knew this) and I don't think she was going to have anymore by his father, something that I was wanting. So this little baby was suppose to come home to me.

So basically I didn't look for a $300-or $500 yorkie, I was looking for a greater breeder. And that is what I found with Dana.
