Also, yorkies and chi's are 'portable', lap dogs, suitable for apartment living, etc. More in demand equal higher priced.
Now, many mixed breeds that should be free are more than some purebreds because they are "in" and celebrities have them......
Size of the litters are a factor too.

I agree with this. Funny though, I've seen where you can buy a pet quality AKC yorkie in the Houston paper for as low as $400. I guess it's because so many people are breeding them now days.
Now, I don't know where people are selling Chi's for $1,000. That seems really expensive to me. I thought they were only a couple hundred bucks. *Shrugs* what do I know.
