HI Jenn,
Paying a higher price does not mean that you are getting a better dog. We got both our dogs after they were are year old and got one heck of a deal (Gypsy is a beautiful show dog with stage fright) and Prissy is well bread expensive puppy gone aesthetically array --but she really does have a great personality).
THIS THE IMPORTANT THING WHEN DECIDED ON WHERE TO GET THEM: GO VISIT THEIR HOUSE/KENNEL.
Prissy's (the 2nd dog we bought) original breeder had a wonderful website that made their kennel look all warm, loving and hand raise. In reality, she was locked in a cage, not played with AND NOT EVEN IMMUNIZED for the first 11 months of her life. The breeder I got Gypsy from rescued her and helped find a great home.
Gypsy's breeder is an ideal breeder and I urge you look for these attributes:
1) she genuinely wants her dogs to find a good home--she made us come over for an interview.
2) she is available for consult 24/7 and trust me, I am always emailing, calling, visiting and asking questions.
3)She showed the mom and the picture of the dad.
I really hope you find the perfect yorkie and you are as happy as we are!
