Biddy is a mix and if I knew then what I know now I would have paid over $2000 for her. I didn\'t pay that much for her - but the amount of love I have for her is invaluable. I think the value of a dog is equal to the amount of pleasure you get out of it, regardless of breed. For me they are priceless.
| Thank you Biddy\'s Mom!! I have a yorkie/chi mix and I love him to death!! I also have a purebred yorkie that I love very much also! I paid $600 for my mixed dog and $1200 for my yorkie. Price wasn\'t an option when I got him. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him and I would\'ve paid double that if I had to!! |
