Also, I was not trying to judge anyone I just stated my opinion that I thought they were a little overly priced, thats all. |
well hopefully we all did go to school, where we learned about percentages of increase. $5 to $75 is a 1400% increase, $800 to $1,800 is a 125% increase. Your argument makes no sense since you are justifying your price of your rabbits the same way as a reputable yorkie breeder justifies the price of their dogs and the tone you choose to use when addressing people that do put a lot of effort into what they do for this breed is insulting. |

All I'm saying is why are some breeds of dogs more expensive then other breeds. & I'm comparing say a 10th generation show quality weimer ($800) to a 10th generation show quality yorkie ($2000); All things being the same, such as vet costs, # of pups, research, & effort on the breeders part. The only difference is that yorkies are in demand. There is nothing wrong with this it is simply business. Yorkies are a product that is in high demand therefore they can be priced higher than other breeds. However, I do find it distressing when the prices are different for different pups out of the same litter. I am not talking male & female, because I understand that females are in higher demand therefore they will be priced higher. However, I do have a problem with breeders charging different prices depending on size. |

I might add!! 2 breeding rabbits can yield on average $9000 per year @ $75.00 per bunny me think this spells BIG PROFIT, crowded house but BIG PROFITS! |

Once again the whole reason why I said they are priced to high was because alot of breeders say they do it for the love and don't make a profit. Go back and read my other posts did I ONCE ever say I did not make a profit. I never said that. |

Seriously folks, it is up to each breeder to decide how much time, effort and money they have put into their practice and what they therefor feel is a fair price. If you don't like it, don't buy a dog from them, bottom line. I personally think that 28,000 for a new Mustang is a rip off, but Ford dealers accross America aren't likely to change their mind because I complain about it here.:) |

I totally agree with ALL the opinions stated so far! That is a hard call.... Maybe she was saying that it shouldn't be sooo much (you know, prices in the thousands, etc). I don't know though. I totally agree about paying an adoption fee for the rescue of an animal from a pound or something (after all, they do so much for those animals before we get them). - You know, spay/neuter, micro-chip, vacs, etc. Also, a breeder needs payment (no matter if it is a hobby, "accident" or business). I do not breed, but I do know it takes a lot of time and money and if you charge a fee, (not always) but it somewhat weeds out people that are not "good" for the animal. I guess, in a perfect world....everything would be free or cheaper. :rolleyes: |
In a perfect world, calories wouldn't count on weekends:( ...OR major holidays. |
