Aw welcome to yorkie talk. I dont think the replys you got are ment to be mean or harsh, i think they are just trying to make you understand that sometimes its best to pay that little extra to get the most healthy pup possible
. This is not always the case and i can see hwhat you mean some breeders breed a yorkie and try seel them for way over the asking price just because they are the most wanted doggies, BUT if you search for a well known breeder ans ask on here (as you have done) then i am sure you will find the perfect little puppy for you.
I have just put my deposit on my little girl yorkie. She was in the local paper advert and i asked LOADS of questions to make sure she was very healthy before i considered buying her. I could have bought a much cheaper yorkie for £300 and there was loads of adverts for yorkies around that price but i went with the puppy that felt right so paying £500 was not a problem as i seen both parents, i have her papers and i know she is being well looked after in her home by the breeder.... u cant put a price on that. I also know she has been vet checked etc so i knew i was picking the right little girl.... after all she is gonna be a part of my family for the next 13years or so.
Now to wait the 3weeks to pick up my little Poppy hehehehe!! I hope you find the right little puppy to join your family soon.
Good luck, let us know how you get on xxx
