It all just boils down to the breeder... not necessarily price. My baby's breeder has been breeding for 10+ years. She used to show in the 80's and 90's and still remains very active in her local YTCA chapter. Her "pet" yorkies are always priced in the 500 to 800 range (although she breeds very seldom). They are beautiful and her bloodlines are remarkable. If she feels your family is a good fit, you
might be lucky to purchase one of her pups. Believe it or not, you can find a quality breeder selling pups for less than $1000. You just have to do your homework.
I just wish she was still in Florida!

She moved to Kentucky back in 2006.
