First of all, welcome to YT!

For starters, you may want to check the "rules" sticky at the top of this section. Members are actually asked NOT to post in this section if they are looking for Yorkies "on a budget," so to speak. I fyour funds are limited, you may be interested in checking the Rescues section.

I know that this is not likely the answer you were hoping for, but well-bred Yorkies from reputable breeders are generally pretty pricey. But, it's for a very valid reason. Breeders have costs they have to cover--vet bills, vaccinations, medical testing, stock, food, registration fees, whelping and grooming supplies, etc etc. It adds up quickly and they have to charge accordingly.

Also, due to their smaller size and somewhat fragile nature, they are not generally recommended for homes with small children, as is the case with many smaller dogs. Many breeders actually will not even consider placing their dogs in homes with younger kids. And they are also generally sketchy about placing them around the holidays.

At least, that is what is typical of REPUTABLE breeders. I'm sure a local puppy miller would give you a dog no questions asked for the right price.

Realistically, I'd say you are going to be pretty hard pressed to find what you are looking for. BUT, if you are interested in gaining a better overall understanding of the Yorkie breed, you have come to the right place.
