| $10,000 for a yorkie?? Hi! I'm new to the site, and a wanna-be yorkie owner. Doing lots of homework first, though! Thanks to this site, I'm savvy to the whole "teacup" issue, so I already know that this breeder should be avoided. (The site ooked me out to begin with, anyway!) (they claim to be #1 yorkie site in the world) But seriously, I wanna know: under ANY circumstances, is there ANY yorkie that is honestly worth $10,000??? (see: "Paris") |

| The 10,000.00 dog?? I dont believe anyone should spend that kind of money on one dog,, if someone can,, great,,but how about you buy one for the price of 1,000.00 or less,, Like everyone else..and donate the other 9,000.00 to your local shelter, to help hundreds more dogs. IMO it would be crazy to spend that kind of money on a dog. But 10,000.00 is ALOT of money to me, to someone that it is not, I guess, whatever,, but it could be spent alot wiser is my point.

| This person is deliberately breeding small tiny Yorkies and is asking ridiculous prices for them. Shame on her! Also - it you look at the ages of these little pups - she seems to be having a hard time getting the prices she wants. The puppies are darling, but, yes - I would avoid buying from her. Carol Jean |

| oooOOPS, sorry, didn't realize I was bringing up a hot topic! This site was mentioned to me by someone in RL, and I guess I wanted to confirm the nasty vibes I got from it. Reading the first page of the first thread that came up in a search was enough for me. Thanks~! |

| Those dogs aren't worth it IMO. They're not even AKC registered. It is just an advertising scheme to make you think that you're getting a good deal from him when he "goes down in price" by hundreds. |

| Welcome aboard!!!! Sounds like you have done some homework, that's great! That price is outrageous. I guess it would be a drop in the bucket for a celebrity wanting one though.

| I've never seen this website before and it just makes me sad... How could someone call themselves a breeder and use the term "teacup"

| Maybe this is kinda off the topic but when I went and looked at this site (just now) it really reminded me of when I was looking for my little girl. I will probably get slammed for this but truthfully I was looking for a Yorkie that would be 2-3 lbs full grown. I did find a few that were to expensive for me. I found Roxy and fell in love with her. I paid a very fair price of $1400 for her expecting her to be about 3 lbs. She is now a little over 4 lbs and everytime I hold her, I think to myself what was I thinking? She is still very small to me. I honestly think if she were 2-3 lbs she would be WAY to small. I am wanting to get another female for our family and now that I know more about this breed I have completely changed my thoughts of what I want. I know I want my female about 5 lbs and not smaller. I wish that everyone could really see what its like taking care of such a small baby before they buy. I love Roxy very much and wouldnt trade her for anything but its funny how after only 7 months my view has changed so much. |
