Just remember that the initial cost of the puppy is the beginning of a long commitment. If you select a reputable breeder then you are much less likely to end up with a pup full of health issues. Just remember that most all yorkie puppies are black and tan and they change color as they get older. It is not always easy to predict what color the pup will be when grown, even if both parents were the color you wanted.

Do you work or go to school? Buying a yorkie is a huge responsibility and requires a huge commitment but they are so rewarding.
I agree with you on the price range . Even though a month ago i almost purchased one for 3,000 with flight and everything but didnt go thru with it because it was a boy and i really have my heart set on a girl . and umm i am a student up in syracuse . I've worked from the age of 15 and have a lot of money saved up along with all my graduration money and what not . i also have a part time job . i think i will be able to manage .
also if you recommend some breeders or websites that would be a great help . i am even willing to fly out to where i have to go to pick up my puppy .
