It is stated over and over when looking for your puppy, do your research on breeders. Reputable breeders do not profess to never produce a puppy with problems. What makes them reputable is how they handle said situation. Now the good, great breeders in the show world have a different definition. What you are describing is reputable/responsible, one that stands behind their dogs.

I think the subject of good and great breeders has a different defination from breeder/exhibitors. What the average puppy buyer would be asking is what seperates a reputable responsible breeder from the rest of the crowd. There is a thread on that, as a matter of fact, several. And of course it's all over the internet.

I remember the thread too. What is not revealed to the general public is many a breeder/exhibitor have placed (no fee) puppies in homes, started out new exhibitors by giving them a breeding pair (of course the dogs are required to be Championed). Also, most reputable breeders would never sell a tiny, they are placed in approved homes that know how to care for them. Where a not so reputable breeder would price gouge and sell said tiny for an astronomical price. Hey Donna, Which of us is going to head out Arizona way to meet Nancy first?

| [QUOTE=Mardelin;3083565] It is stated over and over when looking for your puppy, do your research on breeders. Reputable breeders do not profess to never produce a puppy with problems. What makes them reputable is how they handle said situation. Agree with this...just to say this...I kept a 9 month old puppy for a show prospect and she ended up with a health issue. When I found out she had a health issue I took care of her expenses (not cheap) until I knew she was going to be ok. I then had to find a suitbable pet home for this special little girl...Of course the family had to be approved by me and now we are great friends and one I consider to one of my best friends. I placed her for "FREE". It's all in standing behind your breeding program and doing what's right for the breed and taking a stand for your puppies! It's what a reputable breeder does when a problem presents itself and how you handle it! Donna |

I see your new, welcome aboard. Tell us a bit about yourself. Pricing your dogs is based on a lot of things. What region you live in, the health of your dogs, how well your dogs conform to the Yorkshire Standard, the cost that is put into testing your dogs, vet costs, showing..... So, your question can't be answered simply with what you should be charging.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I don't think you should charge more for them, that's you're decision. I'm only trying to give puppy buyers a little information on how much a puppy will cost. The southern states are very competitive, and many people have told me that they sold yorkies for $350.00, until the found Yorkietalk. I never recommend that people buy and sell over the Internet though, I always recommend buyers and sellers meet in person.
