I have to say I think price varies considerably from region to region. In my particular region, yorkie prices have hit rock bottom. You can buy a puppy all day long from the newspaper for $350.. granted these are six week old puppies with a plethera of health issues, parasites and God only knows what else. Every tom dick and harry seem to be smacking two dogs together and popping out puppies. I have found that VERY few of my pet puppy inquries (notice I say inquiries, not buyers..I would never sell to idiots like this) give two hoots about the fact that my puppies are champion sired from tested dogs, and well known bloodlines..they don't care that my puppies are already altered, fully vaccionated, and blood tested, health warrantied..they care about PRICE, size and sex. I am inundated with people like this on a daily basis. I actually had one woman tell me that I was insane for asking SIX HUNDRED dollars for a small neutered male puppy because who would pay that much for a dog they couldn't even breed anyways. It probably would have been a good oportunity to educate the woman, but I was actually left speechless. (rare for me! lol) I have six hundred bucks in the dogs vetting for God's sake.. it's basicly a free dog! How much cheaper can you get than free? Yet the BYB down the road who breeds tiny little soft coated dogs can get $1500 no warranty, no problem... all day long. I find something a little wrong with this scenerio.. lol I don't breed so I have pet puppies to sell..I breed for myself..but it would be nice to at least come close to breaking even when I do have a pet puppy to sell..lol

I have found the majority of pet puppy buyers want a small "babydoll faced" (their term, not mine) short legged FEMALE puppy that won't exceed 4 lbs.. and they want this for $800 or less.
