Would you buy.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

If you found a shorkie (Shi Tzu X Yorkie) for sale would you consider buying it? and if so, what would you consider a reasonable price?

I know people that have, probably $400 I think they paid.
I dont personally have an issue with it as long as the parents are family pets and not a puppy mill. (I know I will get it for this!)

I have a maltipoo that I paid for.

If all you are looking for is a house pet, I have Lily a yorkie mix. I would make sure the parents are health checked by a reputable vet and make sure it is not from a puppy mill. I paid 400 Lily, personally I would not get a mix again unless it was from a rescue but that is just me.

I would pay nothing. As long as people are willing to pay this much for a MIXED BREED dog the humane societies will be overcrowded with unwanted puppies as this just encourages people to breed these crosses. If you want a mixed breed dog go get one at a pound and save the life of one more poor unwanted puppy

I have a shih tzu I paid 300 for so I would pay less than that. I have a friend with a shorkie and hes a sweet baby. He looks in coloring like a yorkie and appreance like a smaller shih tzu.

I would pay only a couple hundred at the most, but I would only buy it if the litter was an accident, because accidents can happen and those puppies need homes too. I wouldn't buy a mixed breed from someone who was intentionally breeding mixes. But if I really wanted a mix, I would more than likely just go to a shelter and adopt
