Yorkies have been very popular for years according to AKC registrations. The price can also be influenced by the area in which you live. Price of course doesn't reflect quality. Most show breeders are not going to sell a show quality dog to just anyone, they tend to sell them to people whom have experience in showing or a novice whom has a mentor. If they have a potential champ they want to make sure it will be shown and finished. It seems that petshops tend to charge very high prices. It looks like many of us have dogs that were purchased from show/hobbist/breeders whom have champion bloodlines and the prices were all within a reasonable range of prices. But no mater what they cost, they were worth every cent. I know when I bought Bentley & Mia some friends thought I was nuts for paying 800.00 for a "dog". But my dogs are not just dogs, they are very loved and treasured members of my family. I love them like they are family, they are my furbabies and have brought me more joy, love and companionship than could ever be measured by money. Think about it..lets say you pay 1000.00 for a pup in 3 years time you have payed less than a dollar a day for all that fun, joy, love...it's money well spent.
