$200 really is a steal for a dog-- ANY dog, mixed or not, especially since at the age that she is at she should be well into her series of puppy vaccines and deworming. A friend of mine recently homed a litter of shepherd mix pups at $300 each, and didn't make a single cent after the amount of veterinary care and supplies involved in rearing a pup. The $200 price really should have been a flag that the dog you were considering wasn't an average yorkie, since the breeder was essentially letting her go at cost (assuming, at least, that she has been properly vaccinated and cared for up till the point that she went home-- and if she hadn't been, then there's a LOT more wrong with her breeder than just unimpressive bloodlines and possible mixes!)

She's a cute dog, whatever she is. My pup is in obedience school with a dog that looks a whole lot like her, and he is a Yorkie / Schnauzer mix.
