If you have never paid more for something you want than you could get by with, then throw a stone. But I think everyone has paid more for something because of personal preference. Think of your clothes, car, home, think of the things we buy for our own appearance, braces for kids, dye for hair. Why do we wear makeup, go to a hair stylist, get a manicure -- because we have preferences about what looks best. Why do most here pay the price for a Yorkie when a pound puppy needs love too? We have preferences. People that rescue the hard-to-place dogs are doing a great service -- but that does not give them the right to call others names because of their preferences. I get tired of the bashing of people who like/want/or are selling little Yorkies. If people do not like little dogs, why are they even on a Yorkie forum? It's raining today, we still haven't found my son's poodle, and I might be a little grumpy -- but I do love the little Yorkies!

| I think people are going to pay more for the little ones because it requires more for their care. Also its just simple supply and demand. I have seen someone who is considered a very reputable breeder on here selling a little one for more

| I find this question a little, I don't know, annoying. Why do you feel that a breeder has to justify anything they do? You call someone to inquire about a puppy and you either come to an agreement or you don't. You might not like them or vice versa. They can charge whatever they feel is right for the puppy and you either buy it or you don't. I was lucky to find Debbie. My family had a big yorkie whose ears didn't stand up years ago and this time I wanted a little one. She was described as a teacup. Since then I have learned that there is no such thing and whenever I'm asked if that's what she is, I merely say there is no such thing and she's just a little yorkie. If they say they're looking for one, I warn them that sometimes they have problems but Debbie has been very healthy, (knock wood) at three pounds full grown but even at 10 weeks, never had any eating problems or any other issues. I don't consider her fragile or delicate. She's perfect for me but then again, she's the only animal here and I only have one child who was 13 when I got her. She was able to get on and off the couch herself while I know people with bigger yorkies who never could, maybe cause they were just scared. All we can do is hope that anyone buying any pet learns all they can ahead of time so they can make the committment to take care of that pet for life. |

"I wasnt saying people who buy tiny ones are stupid." You weren't???? What about when you said the following: "thats cos stupid people will pay more for them" "if stupid people didnt pay more " "i said people who pay more for a tiny are stupid" " i ment people who spend more money on a tiny are stupid" It is abudantly clear! There is such a big difference in the very nicely worded cautions to help people pick a reputable breeder and become aware of the potential dangers with little Yorkies and telling people they are stupid for paying more for their preferences! Some do not understand that.

| Many qualities may come into play when pricing a puppy, other than size. Some have the baby doll faces, prettier coloring, nicer coats, whatever. I think it can be summed up very easily. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. This pretty much holds up for anything that you purchase. |

| i will start again, ( breeder says) breeders charge more for tiny ones for one reason only cos stupid people will pay more for them, not me saying that breeders saying that. and again i ment people who pay more for a tiny are stupid cos breeders are taking them for a ride, (breeders think this) not me. ok i will again say i love tiny ones i think they are cute i have nothing against them or the people who have them weather they pay more or less for them than a standard one, its there money and up to them how much they pay. my sasha wasnt standard or perfect but if i could have her back i would pay thousands so when it comes down to it it is all about how much you want it to how much you will pay for it. i hope that has now cleared this up once and for all.

I accept that this was a case of unfortunate wording and will move on now.
