| I don't know if that's a high price for a yorkie but that's a normal price for a maltese LOL |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Price isn't much of an indication of a good breeder. Some of the worst breeders have the highest prices. I would look for a great breeder first, one who's truly interested in bettering the breed, and not someone who's just trying to earn a few dollars.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yorkies are so popular that byb's have really saturated the market, which drives the price down, but not for a quality breeder. If you look at quality Maltese breeders, and quality Yorkie breeders, they are in the same range. Quality Maltese breeders in AZ charged less than the Yorkie Breeder I found, but I choose a Yorkie because she was the best breeder I could find, and one who had all the qualities I was looking for.

Thor's Human Donating Member | It also depends on your area. I would say a high quality Yorkie in SF would be $1200-$1600. Daytona Beach is also probably expensive.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Are you planning on breeding? Most good breeders sell with limited registration meaning no breeding rights, so males and females sell at the same price. I always recommend the YTCA site for breeder's referrals.

| I don't think $2000 is to much for a dog. But at this price, he should be registered, come from an reputable breeder and have a good health warranty. Can you tell us more about the breeder? Do he have a site. Because if your are going to spend $2000+... what not going with the best... |

| Puppies For Sale in Florida - Maltese Puppies, Chihuahua Puppies, and Yorkie Puppies - Cassie's Closet Look at some of the prices of the puppies here.. This is just crazy to me!! I just thought it was a little boutique that sold clothes for children and puppies, never knew they were breeding animals..

| We ended up paying approximately $1500 for our girl. But, we are not showing her or breeding. Also, consider the spaying/neuter fees. Our vet gave us a quote for $950! |
