Anyways, didn't mean to rant on, like I said they are very cute and I wouldn't mind one myself.......but what cost will "fashion" have on the fate of the original Yorkie?

I understand why serious fanicers disagree..I don't see the problem myself. I have my name on several lists., who knows if I will get one or decide they are too pricy???Most will run $2000 from Germany..then shipping, etc. A few sell as low as $1200 to $3000. USA breeders want $3000 to $5000.
