I honestly don't think that the issue is what any of us individually paid for our Yorkies....also, the member who started this post should not look for one definitive price answer.
When it comes to Yorkies I don't think the phrase "You get what you pay for" exactly applies in all cases. Some people with poorer quality animals will ask a high price still, and sometimes get it. Greed prevails.
I think a true breeder who does it right, is worth the money they charge, as they have great expenses producing this puppy and maintaining the business PERIOD.
Location also means a lot as to how much you will pay.
I make wedding cakes, and some brides want a Platinum Wedding cake, at Memphis prices (GOd I wish they would take that show off of cable).
A cake I make here for 400.00 will cost 1,500.oo in say LA, New York, Atlanta.
When you take all of the factors into account involved in pricing a yorkie, I think that you have two choices. Buy it , or leave it there.
