Donating YT 14K Club Member | What nerve!!! Okay, my husband brought my pups up to my job today so that everyone could see how beautiful they were getting! Everyone oohh and aahhhed over them. There is one lady that works there that has a yorkie that she bought 3 years ago from a puppy mill and paid $600 for him...3 years ago. Anyway, she's holding one of my babies and asks how much I'm asking for them. I told her, and while she's holding the baby, she says in a baby voice, "I'll give $600 for you but you aren't worth much more than that!" Highly offended, I took my pup and left. Well, during lunch time, I went to the back to use the restroom. She is in the lunch room and asks me, "Do you HONESTLY THINK you can get that much for them?" I responded, "I have not doubt! I'm going to advertise in Houston and Corpus Christi. People in this town are just too cheap!" I turned around and left!! Anyway, just wanted to vent. I got the last say and that's what I wanted anyway. |

| It means, don't waste your time explaining or arguing with somone of her caliber! You know what your puppies are worth and want them to go to the best possible homes. Obviously she is ignorant and isn't worth lossing your temper over! Consider the source and just smile!

| I can tell you that here in Brampton Ontario, female yorkie pups, without papers sell for $3,220.00 (tax incl) in the pet stores. That would be $2547.67 USD |

| Female Yorkies are usually about $1000 here in Northern CA. $600 would be a great deal. I got my Summer for that much, but only because I already know the breeder. I'm sure your babies are well worth every single penny you're asking for them!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm in Houston and I can tell you right now - you can ask more and will get it - I had a very hard time finding a puppy because they go QUICK here...For a big city it isn't that easy to find yorkies - I WISH I could get another one cause I'd be first in line here.. I'd love to see a picture of your babies !! |

| $600??? I've been searching for nearly a year and have yet to come across a quality pure bred yorkie that costs $600. I'm driving 5 hours and paying far more than that for my puppy and I think I'm getting a pretty good deal (and the puppy will be worth every cent!) Average price is at least a couple hundred dollars more than that!! But what does she know?! If she's getting dogs from a puppy mill, she obviously isn't the most knowledgeable source for dogs! I would love to see photos of the pups!! |
