Abbey was 400$. That was by far the best price I found for a purebred with papers. And for a GIRL bc usually girls are more expensive than boys. I got her in El Paso, TX and the breeder was also selling her borther for 350$.
I actually got her by seeing an ad in the newspaper for her. I would check every day and call and usually I would call and the people selling the dogs would not even speak english and know nothing about the dog!! I knew I would never buy from some one like that.
So I got up really early one morning, checked the paper, saw her for $400 and immediately called. The woman was really nice, knew a lot of the breed, had her papers, had the parents on site...everything! It was amazing esp from what I had been dealing with.
Also-when I went over to see the pups the breeder told me some man had called and said he wanted the girl. The baby boy was adorable but I knew I wanted a girl so after some pleading, I left with my Abbey.
Looking back on it, I really feel like it was fate, everything fell into place that day. And I was amazed to get such a great yorkie for that price.
