I have also heard of contract, co-ownership show yorkies for as low as $2500. There is no reason, whatsoever to pay this much unless it comes from a show breeder and has been determined to be show quality (which can't even be realized until close to 5 months of age!)

My Chloe is a pet yorkie, and I paid $900 for her. And I wouldn't pay more than $1200 for a pet quality yorkie.


I'm glad you said that - Some prices we've seen are outrageous but this thread is getting SO many views that for people new to yorkies & looking for a PET - this is a good post. So many are getting taken advantage of and I'm NOT talking about anyone in particular - we can all see this by searching the net and seeing the $$$$$ these days.

anyway - I was feeling left out and thought I'd throw in 2 cents...
