| What's the regular price for a yorkie pup? I was looking online and i came across vast.com and there's a section where people advertise pets they sell. I came across a few people (breeders) saying they will sell a yorkie that's 12 weeks old for $190 and the pup comes with health papers, akc regestration papers, health guarantee, etc. I inquired about a few of them but it just seems a little weird that they would sell the pups for such a low price compared to others that sell them for close to 2000 dollars. Sorry if Im asking alot of questions you guys, Im just really new to this lol ^_^; |

| I think the average cost for a pet quality Yorkie where I live is between $600 and $1200. I would not buy a $190 Yorkie unless it is a rescue. Cheap puppies are usually sick. I wish Yorkies cost $190 because then I would have four Yorkies. |

| I could also be a scam!! They will tell you that the dog is in another country and they will send the dog when you wire the money to them. Usually they say that they are religious missionaries or something to get you to trust them and then they get your money and you never see a dog!! Don't fall for it, just save up some more money and while you are saving you can be studying everything about Yorkies and you'll be an expert by the time you get your new pup!! Good luck!!

| Lots of times you hear stories about puppies being stolen. Most of these dogs are sold. Its a shame that we have people out there wanting to take advantage of our trusts. Its better to research and get you a good breeder that others know and have dealt with. It will be worth it in the end and you won't be disappointed.

YT 2000 Club Member | In Ohio you can find adds stating about $600 and up for males and $800 and up for girls. Most breeders here are that I contacted are selling boy's for $800 and girls for $1,000. obtaining a puppy by internet sets up for lots of scamers to take advantage of people if you are not careful. You will want to check into the breeder selling pups before sending any money. You want to check out the breeder.. ask lots of questions and also make sure the breeder is asking you lots of questions too, they will want to make sure that the puppy is going to a good home.. not just making a sale! Ask for references and check them out.. People will be glad to tell you about their pet the got from the breeder! go see the puppy and it's parents if possible. Ask about a health contract, AKC papers, All that good stuff. You will be thankful in the long run buying from a reputable breeder.

| I would say that its a SCAM! Pups around here are $600-$1400. You can find them a little cheaper but usually its not a very good blood line and someone that is just breeding to make $.
