I am not a breeder but I think some breeders charge a lot b/c they are trying to achieve something that cost time and money. A Yorkie that fits the standard? Or a different face or body type. All takes time and effort. I understand stud fees are high too. ($1000. if you want a CH?)

I imagine backyard breeders or hobby breeders that charge a lot are just going along with what they think is the going rate.

Supply and demand. gotta love it.
