$8,500 for a yorkie - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well her pictures have been updated because I emailed her and gave NO names but said that some think her pictures have been altered. I asked her if she could post new and recent pics and she emailed me back and sent me the same pictures that she just posted. They look the same except the the pictures on the net look funny. To me it is the same picture. I don't think she has altered them and she has lowered her price. This may be legit and she is just seeing what she can get who knows. To me the puppy looks just fine. Yeah she may be little but so what. I know a lot on here have small pups.I know that little ones tend to have health problems and it isn't something that I would want. It just seems some are so quick to judge. She seems to be getting rid of her because of her own children being so small she is scared she is going to get hurt. Maybe the high price is to assures that she won't go to a bad place who knows.

Well, obviously the price is crazy, but I could see someone paying it. Good grief, people obviously give Jeff Dane $$$$ for his ugly dogs....and IMO, this one is a REAL cutie!

Summer's mom · 09-12-2006, 07:21 AM

It isn't just that she is small,it's that people try and get more money for very small dogs that do not meet breed standards.

Who knows she said she bought the dog for that much, so she could of bought it from Jeff Dane

.

But, her dog is a cutie though!!!

abbie's mom · 09-12-2006, 08:27 AM

Yeah....and then, when health complications show up later - they'll toss her aside as 'defective'. *crying*

Peope that show their dogs must have expenses so I believe those dogs coming from champion dogs must definetely cost more. But I do not agree selling a dog for that money just because the small size. Just my quote.

I agree with you completely!
Surely no one will be dumb enough to buy it!
Not with all the info on the internet, being able to do research on finding a reputable breeder and healthy babies out there! What kind of breeder uses those terms anymore?

Well I can tell you that I won't be paying for any of them to show their dogs.Some of those prices that they charge are just plain crazy!

Just curious what do you consider an "ok" price coming from "champions"

?

This is no showbreeder from looking at this! Besides I bought mine from a show breeder, and did NOT pay no where near that price! Nor would I........
From what I understand showbreeders breed to improve the breed health and looks wise, and other stuff to. Not to make money. It is thier hobby. Where does other type of breeders that don't show put thier money they make?
Maybe your paying for thier house payment, or vacation....

I do not know. I am not a breeder but I think $2500.00 may be fear. What you think?

Big T · 09-16-2006, 07:48 PM

People who do that are just straight up cruel... but she is adorable.

makemepretty · 09-16-2006, 08:14 PM

I hate that she's getting so many looks at it, it just keeps the prices up. I will say that I looked around and found two the same age and same weight as what hers is...one is $5,000 firm and the other is $2200. Just goes to show you, research your puppy first

Emmsmom · 09-17-2006, 05:13 AM

I know some here have paid that much for a dog but ... That is still a crazy price in my opinion. I still wouldn't pay that much even for "show quality" I think people keep jacking the prices up because some think that is an acceptable figure. No offense to anyone here who have paid prices like that. There is just no way I am paying prices like that!!

Dorianyorkie · 09-20-2006, 01:06 PM

Did you ever think that show breeders may have so much expenses to make their dogs champions? You do not win money at a dog show just a ribbon or a trophy. Handling fees are very high and traveling too... That is the reason show quality or champion bloodlines cost more. They say that you usually get what you pay. Myself I promote show breeders. Dog shows were born in England to improve a breed but enter animals in the show ring may be soooooooo costy!. I respect show-breeders, really. Show-breeders are responsible of many of the very well bred/sound Yorkies we see out there. My point of view and I do not mean to offend anyone! (I kept saying this last words because people tend to feel offended very easily!)
