I have to chime in on the price issue. I really think a lot has to do with where you live. When I lived in NJ it there were many more reputable breeders then there are down here in FL. I could have gotten a Yorkie for around $650 - $1,000. (not necessarily show quality)

But in my quest for a Yorkie down here in Naples they were definitely higher. The freakin' pet store was selling these poor babies who were no question puppy mill puppies for $2,700.00!!!!!! (I wish they'd shut every pet store down, but that's another topic...)

I paid $1,000.00 for Bowzer from a breeder and I'd do it again!!! He's awesome!!!
