Agree with what everyone else said ^^^ BUT also wanted to add. Just because you see a yorkie listed for $2000 also does not make it a good quality yorkie or coming from a good place. Pet stores will often sell pups for $1000-$3000, but they are coming from puppy mills. So price should not be the only thing factored in at all. Alot of reputable breeders will let puppies go at cheaper prices because they simply want to break even and find them an amazing home. Just do your research, google breeders, make sure they have health guarantees, and you can view their home or the dogs parents, etc. Rescues will often have Yorkies AND yorkie puppies for $100-$400. I paid $550 from Jackson from a backyard breeder (meaning she was not showing, had no health guarantee, no papers or anything, I have NO idea what are in Jackson's genes, etc). But he's been the best dog I could have asked for--however I should never have paid that woman that much money!
