I can only explain it from my point of view.......I did Breed my 2 Yorkie's, w/c
had a litter of 3, 1 male & 2 females. I Sold the male for $1,800.00 and 1 female for $2,000.00 and we kept the smallest one w/c is now almost 4 yrs. old and she is only 4 1/2 lbs. I get offers all the time from People I meet every
day. I had a 1 1/2 year waiting list, plus a $500.00 Deposit that was paid on each of the puppies when they were 8 weeks old to hold them until they were
20 weeks old. So I had the pleasure of enjoying them until they were picked-up by their New Families, they were allowed to visit their puppies and take pictures until they were old enough to leave my Home. Many times they only gave me 5 min. notice that they were "on their way"! My House was always clean so I never had any complaints. The Parents do have 14 Champions, in the past 3 Generations of their Pedigree/Bloodline. I know I was very Lucky,
since she did NOT have any complications. I also had to pay for their Tails to get "Docked" & their Dewclaws removed by the Vet. w/c was $150.00 per puppy, 3 days after they were born. I also paid for all their shots until they were 20 wks. old. I can tell you that I did'nt set the prices I just based it on what other Breeders were charging in my area. As well as comparing prices on the Internet too! There is NO Justification in the price of these Dogs, that's just how much they are? They are a 20 yr. Investment and for the record they are very addicting, I'm sure once you get one you will want another one! I'm pretty sure once you find the right Breeder and the right Puppy? There are alot of Yorkie's that need to be "Rescued" too? You might want to consider a Rescue?
