| Cost of Puppy We lost our little guy Hampton, age seven, to pancreatitis over Thanksgiving. Not having purchased a puppy in seven years, I need to know what I should expect to pay. Also, does anyone know if the North Carolina Yorkie Breeders is a reputable and reliable source? |

| Not sure about breeders in NC, but I'd say your range depends on if you're wanting a male or female, the age, whether rescue or from a breeder and whether they are already fixed or if they are from a show/champion line. General rule of thumbs are that girls are more costly (in more ways than one XD lol) I'd say from the average lower end to high end is $500-$2000+, sometimes more or less depending on situation. I got my girl at $600 but considering all the money I put in before and after getting her, it adds up fast ^^; lol

| Yorkies from a reputable breeder normally runs $1,000 to $2,500. No that website is like a broker and that is not a good way to get a puppy. You might want to check out ytca.org and read through this http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...e-breeder.html.

| Also beware that just bc a pup falls into that price range that doesn't necessarily mean that is the correct price. A lot of brokers and byb price their pups ridiculously high to make you think you are getting something "rare".
