Weren't these Yorkshire Terrier pups? I have one that's 5 years old, and yes Scuds., people do pay that, and more. A breeder, near my home, charges $3K and up for puppies that are show quality, meaning perfect conformation. (Folks in show dog business are nuts!)
Champion breeding lines in dogs are at a premium akin to that of classic bloodlines in horses.
Even for a pet, not planned for dog shows, puppies, today, can be quite expensive.
I am glad this family got the mother and her pups back. The culprits, may have found the pups tatooed, and learned they could not sell them. Smart breeder, if so.
