I know that's your personal opinion, but there are many members here with happy, healthy, well-socialized, and adjusted dogs and they got them for $500 or less. I don't think price is an issue either way (either very low-priced or high-priced), and a person should be able to choose to pay as little, or as much as they want for a Yorkie.
I do think that it's more important to visit the breeder and see the conditions yourself. If a breeder chooses to sell a dog for $500, it might not necessarily mean they treat the dog any worse than someone who sells their dog for $2000. Also, there are areas of the country where dogs are cheaper than the "average" going price.
