Wow - you got taken advantage of. Out here in Seattle the average price is around $1,000 (luckily I was able to find one for less). A good breeder would never inflate the price just because a yorkie will be small. The label "teacup" has been made up by some breeders to have a reason to charge more than normal for a yorkie. Yorkies can be smaller than 4 pounds, but that just means they are small, not that they fall into a new type of yorkie called "teacup". Breeders who advertise these types are trying to scam you into paying more money than necessary. The only price difference should be between male/female and show/non show quality. |
