Do you think it's the economy?
 
I'm starting to wonder! I've had the cutest two little males on sale on here since 9-29-09. Just a couple of interests. I'm wondering if it's the economy or the fact that I'm sure some people think of me as "new". My pictures don't do them justice, I've said that ALOT! LOL I was really naive enough to think that the minute I listed them on here I would be bombarded with calls!! I was thinking...no one from Ohio is selling puppies now! I have a Cincinnati mailing address, but I live in Eastgate, close to Batavia or Anderson.
If you know of someone willing to give them the best home possible, second only to me of course;), let me know! I really can't imagine having 5 yorkies considering the fact that I have a daughter that will be playing basketball for Northern Ky University and I want to go to ALL her games Home or Away!!! How would I ever sneak 5 yorkies in a hotel room!!!:cool:
Thanks everyone!

Maybe I should be talking to you! I seriously don't know how I'd manage!!:eek:

Mom2TwoYorkies 10-23-2009 10:20 AM
I think both of them are truly adorable and they are priced really low IMO, I cannot imagine someone not wanting to buy one of them, they are just too cute!

Have you tried locally at all by word of mouth? I wouldn't lower their price more than that, really . . .

I wish I could buy them, but I have two of my own and my husband already told me 2 was enough :( . . .

It's really not so bad. Bath days are a little hectic with bathing, clipping, ears etc. but I'm getting faster! They are all really well behaved, no yappers, and a barrell of fun. I have fun teaching them basic commands as well as tricks. Here they are on the patio having a "lesson".

It may be a factor (the economy).... I'm not sure. They're priced very well so I don't know. They're adorable and I'd love to have a 2nd Yorkie but I think I'm just not quite ready yet. I'm sure they will find a loving home soon enough, it may just take a little longer. :) Good luck :thumbup:

I wish I was ready for my 2nd baby but I have to wait till spring or summer. My daughter is expecting in Feb and I will be a 1st time Grandmother so I thought it would be best since I will be helping her and her hubby after the baby is born. Where can I see the pixs of your babies.:animal36

I do think it is the economy. That and there doesn't seem to be much interest in boys right now.

I'm going through the same thing. I live in Ohio as well, just below Akron. I have one boy that I've been trying to find a home for awhile now. He is adorable, has the sweetest personality, comes from good bloodlines and comes with everything including a 1 year health guarantee and is priced low.

I too thought I would have found him a home a long time ago.

Your pups are both really adorable and the parents are beautiful as well. I hope things pick up soon and you are able to find them good loving homes.

You can send them to me. :D

I really think its the economy.

Since you don't ship, this greatly reduces potential buyers.

Its definitely the economy. I know I wouldnt be buying a yorkie right now

I don't mean to get this thread off track, but I'm perplexed by rising prices in a bad economy. I understand that inflation is coming, but it shouldn't be noticeable this early.

I'm getting repairs done on my house. The local contractors are not hurting for business, & charging top dollar.

Eighteen months ago a breeder in NJ was selling pups for $2,500. The current litter of pups are selling for $2,800.

Vet prices in my area were very high compared with many other states, e.g., over $400 for neutering 18 months ago. I'm sure the price won't be less, & hopefully won't be more.

If I were to buy another Yorkie, I'd like to get one locally so I could meet the pup, but I'd like to pay a reasonable price considering the current economy.

That's the way I feel, which is why I don't want to ship! Your baby in your avatar looks so much like my Maggie May!! You can't tell from her picture-I need to reread the thread on how to take good pics. of them;)

JERSEY BOY 10-25-2009 05:07 PM
OMG they are so adorable. I wish the time was right. I know Jersey would love a little brother. :)

Jacksmom052709 10-25-2009 05:46 PM
They are beautiful! My husband is in Ft. Knox and I thought about telling him to stop by and bring one home (we live close to Cleveland) however, we just got Jack not too long ago and are still working with him and getting the cats used to him. I hope they find their forever homes soon!

DvlshAngel985 10-25-2009 05:56 PM
I LOVE little boys!!! But I just got Kaji 2 months ago. If it wasn't for the economy I too would be considering a second baby, but maybe actually getting one next year. How I wish the economy was better so I can have two baby boys running around driving me nuts :p. Kaji would love a little brother!!!;)

lechy02 10-25-2009 06:33 PM
I really do think it's the economy. I started thinking about getting another furbaby but the more I thought about it I was unsure. I want to make sure that I have enough money to fully care for my babies, I don't just mean all the adorable things to buy for them. I want to make sure that I would have the money to take care of their health under any circumstances and right now I just not sure I could. So I will wait patiently(not really:rolleyes:) for the economy to look up and then I will be on the hunt for a new furbaby to spoil rotten.

It's definitely the economy! Although the builder is lucky to have the work you gave him. More people are having some work done to their homes now. Few people are moving to bigger homes or bigger lots.
Many home improvement contractors have dropped their prices. But they have to pay for materials. So it doesn't matter how low they want to go, they just can't go lower & lower. They just don't get the jobs.
Vets can charge whatever they like. They will benefit later.
I know many breeders that have struggled with finding homes. You are not alone. Dropped prices and still not finding the right homes.
Your prices are low. It's good not to ship. Someone will come along & be glad to come for them. Because the price is so low it only makes sense. It's not just the purchase price. It also the added cost in the family people are nervous of today. It should be looking up soon. Lets hope!

O your killing me ...lol...I will be driving right through your neck of the woods on the way to MI. tommorrow....I have been considering getting another lil one, so Shay has a lil patner in crime..lol..But like you posted, the economy, always afraid to spend to much, in fear the bottom will drop out, think that is how alot of ppl are thinking these days.
Your lil boys are simply adorable, I hope you can find them loving homes..
