around here in northern california mixes like that will run about $500-$1200. like any other puppy, it depends on who you get it from. reputable breeders who certify that they have two healthy purebred parents (a puppy from a purebred maltese and a purebred yorkie, as opposed to an ignorant breeder who bred two morkie/yorktese as if they were a breed of their own), and ran what health tests they could on the mix puppy to ensure a healthy puppy free of genetic defects, will charge more than a breeder who does just the minimum like whelp the pups and that's it.
but in general, small breed dogs costs a premium around here. a purebred yorkie will run about $1200-$2500, so i personally don't think $650 for a yorktese is outrageous or high. but then again, i think $500k for a 750 sq ft one bedroom condo is a bargain around my area 'cause the going rate for that in my building is about $550-$600k depending on the view and the condition of the unit. i'm sure most ofyou will find that price outrageously high for a mere one bedroom condo, but that's just the cost of living out here.
but if i could afford another furbaby, i'd love to have a yorktese as a companion to my bunjee! |
