liek someone else said there are LOTS of considerations such as sex, size, quality.....
Personally i did not care about papers or show quality.... i wanted a pet
I got my yorkie for $500, BUT he is bigger than the average yorkie, he is 13 lbs (let me also point out that he was following the normal growth to be 6 lbs, but for some reason he just "kept growing" and there is no way to know the weight of a puppy, it is mostly guesswork, there could be some genes in the line that come from bigger parents ect...)
It also depends on where you are looking. California is the hotspot for little "toy dog accesories" so you can expect to pay a lot here. I got lucky and was crusing the newspaper for MONTHS looking for the right price, i wasnt going to pay over $800 for a dog. and most the dogs here go that much (and also i would like to point out 800 here is not necessarily show quality, i have seen pet quality yorkies with no papers go for this much)... for females here in cali i dont think you would pay any less than 1000 and the LEAST |
