That a puppy goes for $400.00 to $600.00. - YorkyLover26
So why do you want to breed your male? It is expensive to raise yorkies. My litter I have now - my girl had a c-section during normal working hours (thank goodness) cost including the tail dockings and dewclaw removals - total 718.00. Bording during the 3 days before c-section - 38.00. Then had her back to the vet two days later - 125.00 for fluids, amoxicillin shot, perscription and glucose. Then she was so weak, she did not want to eat, so I spoon feed her for 7 days around the clock and checked puppies. Cost - no sleep for 7 days. I then brought her back 10 days later for stitch removal - cost 0, but had to drive there and back. Fecal check on pups 46.75. Plus I also paid for a stud fee, since I bred my female to someone else's dog. And I still have to get shots done - 3 sets. So it's not cheap to have pups. Don't forget you need to have your female and male tested - that cost too. Burcellosis test on female 37.00, but that is not the only test you need. I hope you have a lot of extra cash to hand out. Just something to think about!
P.S. I have only 2 pups (males).
