I found a chocolate Yorkie :)

[ukeka]

Hello, I found a private breeder in NJ whom has 1 chocolate yorkie Female, I have never owned a Female before. She is adorable, From what the breeder tells me she is the most affectionate of the litter, The breeder has invited me to the home to meet the mom dad and the 3 pups. Please every one with Females give me advice on there temperment Also do you think $950 is to much to pay for this little girl ? I think it an ok fee. Both Parents are AKC reg the black and tan female & Black & tan male will be registerable the male which I am also debating over is $900. YT'ers your thought matter to me so please feel free to advise. Thanks in advance

In NJ I bet $950 is a reasonable price. You know chocolates aren't breed standard, so I would not expect to pay more than $1,000 for one. I could be way off base here, and if so, am looking forward to hearing what everyone else has to say. I am certainly no expert, JMO.

Jaspermom , you are not way off base , In my area those little ones are often going for $2,000.00 and more because the " So called breeders " advertize them as " extremely rare color " . I really think It is a shame to do that .

I don't think it is right to up the price because of the color, cause to me that indicates you are money hungry. However, what is wrong w/ advertising them as "rare?" They ARE rare....how often do you see them?

Can you take pictures when you go??? We would love to see them too.
Females are great, you can put them in pretty dresses, males are great too, I love their sweaters. As far as temperment, it depends on the pup, but if you ask me All Yorkies are the best! Oh, I guess I was no help! LOL Sorry, I just love to hear about puppies!!!

I loved all of my Yorkies (4) and found no diffrence in sweetness in male and female. I did have a problem with my 2 males marking occassionaly but neither was neutered. Girls are fun to dress up and put bows in without hubbies getting mad!

They Have sent me pictures but urge me to come visit, I feel is very nice and a sign of a reputable breeder , I dont know to post the pic in my e-mail to yorkie talk if I could e-mail so one and they post it here for please let me know

congratulations the breeder sounds great, I only have females, and I love them but they all have different personalities and temperments. Can't wait to see the pics....

Congrats on your new baby! The price seems reasonable, especially for the area you are in, and the breeder sounds great! Can't wait to see pictures!

Go see the premises! If the breeder starts talking about how rare the chocolate is then tell her that it happens when both parents carry the recessive gene and recessive genes aren't a good thing. If they carry the recessive gene for this then what other recessive genes are in the lines?

Anyway, either way, $950 is a resonable price.

Your right, I am going to take the drive out there Next saturday, it in Nj but far ..so I think it will be 2 hr drive, When I asked about the puppies they had for sale they made no statement about rare chocolate even in there advertisement all they said was they have 3 yorkie puppies ready for loving homes .. The second e-mail contained the description of each puppy and pics' Lets cross our fingers that there will be no games being played .. I am falling in love with the male too .. omg !!!!
