From an established, reputable, show breeder anywhere from $3,000.00 to $5,000.00.
If you've not shown before it'll be a difficult quest to get a quality yorkie, from an established, reputable breeder. As they do not readily let go of the show dogs go, without knowing and trusting you. It will be on a co-ownership, stud rights and possibly a tight rain on who the dog is bred to. With an time-line as to when the dog should have to be finished and if not pointed by a certain age, a stipuplation that the dog must be sent out with a professional handler. There will be no hopes of showing the dog, it will be a requirement within the contract.
