New to Forum =) - Looked over FAQ's - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Nefarious · 08-13-2005, 08:09 AM

Hi there everyone...

Im new to the forums and just wanted to put in a formal Hello.

My girlfriend has been wanting a dog for a long while now. I myself am not a dog or cat person.... but after the constant pictures of different breeds, I do believe she has me on these cute little Yorkies - she definatly wants a YT.

Like anything, I like to do a little research before buying anything - especially a living creature. So while im sitting here at work, ive been reading through the old posts here on the forums and the FAQ's =)

I do have a somewhat simple question about pricing of Yorkies - I do understand that prices will vary due to many variables, but can anyone give their opinion on the low to high prices that one can expect? The highest I have seen so far has been $3500 - OUCH!

Rex'z momma · 08-13-2005, 08:12 AM

i would say prices USUALLY range from $700-1200 it can be less or more, but that is the average that i see

eshuser · 08-13-2005, 08:16 AM

Hello and welcome. I have seen one priced at $6500. ( I thought that was a little extreme.) There is a breeder down here I think hers go for around $500. I think it will mostly depend on the area where you live.

yorkieusa · 08-13-2005, 08:25 AM

Is size important to you? They come in all sizes. It seems that in the case of yorkies, one size does not fit all!

Some people prefer tiny yorkies, others prefer the standard, and still others prefer a larger yorkie!

Wolftrap · 08-13-2005, 08:29 AM

Those price ranges are about correct. The larger they will be the less they will cost. The smaller ones cost more. The price is also higher for females and what type of bloodline the yorkie comes from whether it is a championship bloodline or not.

chachi · 08-13-2005, 08:31 AM

Hello and welcome to yorkietalk! The average price is about 600-1200.

SWEETPEA · 08-13-2005, 08:35 AM

Hi And Welcome To Yt

And I Agree With Everybody Here. YORKIES RUN FROM $600 UP

suzysmitt · 08-13-2005, 08:36 AM

They go from about $350 - $1,500 here in Florida. It all depends on what you're looking for. If your patient you may find one for free, or one on here at a reasonable cost. I found one for free and one cost me $100. I couldn't want any better dogs then I have.

Joy · 08-13-2005, 08:56 AM

I agree with the other posts. Here in New England they seem to start at around $700.00 and go up from there. Welcome to YT.

Kelz · 08-13-2005, 09:39 AM

Welcome to YT!! I usually can find yorkies for $500 and up!

chechinmipo · 08-13-2005, 09:42 AM

Hi! and welcome. Price range at around 800-2000 depnding on quality. However the price you saw for $2500 is pretty decent. There are some out there for $5000-$7000 I think its outrageous but hey are out there. Good luck hope you find the right puppy for yorself.

Esme's Mommy · 08-13-2005, 09:48 AM

Hello and welcome to yorkietalk!
Your girlfriend has made an excellent choice because yorkies ARE the cutest dogs out there!!! You will come accross some RIDICULOUS prices out there. We paid $900 for Esme. I am presently in search of a companion for her and hope to spend less the second time around.

So far, I have seen prices starting at around $700.
Good Luck on your search!

chachi · 08-13-2005, 09:52 AM

The pricing can also be based upon what sex of dog you get. My male was 600. My female was 1200. The breeders regular price for females was 900 I paid a little more because my female was a smaller yorkie.

sshaw · 08-13-2005, 06:27 PM

You should be able to purchase a Yorkie of any size you prefer for between $800 -$1500, if you look hard enough.

Welcome to YT! If you do decide to get one, this forum will be very helful to both of you. Nothing like "hands on experience" from such a wide range of individuals. I live in PA and the "average" price is from $850-$1,200. Of course, as everyone else mentioned, it does vary due to different circumstances. Don't feel obligated to take the first one you see. Look around, you'll know which one is right for you. Good luck!
