No offense to anyone here, but I'd think for $1000 you should certainly be getting papers!
I paid $1000 for my male, who is by of a champion AKC imported sire, out of a dam whose parents were champions. Over half the dogs in his pedigree are champions and he is a GORGEOUS dog, very quality. His feet toe out a bit is why he was sold as pet quality with limited registration. Not noticeable at all with his long hair. I bought him before the economy tanked and I am sure he would cost quite a bit less in today's economy. People should really shop around when looking for a yorkie. The prices I've seen people charge for dogs outside the standard are absolutely ridiculous.
