Ah, I just re-read my post and realized that I was the first one to say "type." It's been a long day.

Anyway, from the research that I have done, and with the other Yorkies for sale in Las Vegas, I set the price at $1500 due to their size (should be under 4lbs.) and the fact that they are AKC registered vs. some other registration. Plus the fact that they are family-raised vs. a puppy store, where a lot are sold here. There have been plenty in the last few months that I've been watching that are selling for $800-$900 that are standard 7lb. size and not registered or registered with another club.

Am I wrong on the pricing? I've seen small females sell for over $2000, which seems high to me, but we paid about that for our Sicily. ($1800)

(I also want to add that I was not trying to breed for small puppies. I was told not to breed Sicily with a stud larger than 4lbs, because of her size, so genetically they just made smaller puppies.)

Thanks for any help!
