My female yorkie Lacey was $400 in 1992. Just purchased another female yorkie puppy. She was $950. My mom put a deposit down of $450 to hold her until she is old enough to go home. I will pay the other half then because I should have my income tax money by then. We purchased her from a local breeder only a 10 minute drive from our home. The going rate around here for females is $800-900. But, if you go to New Orleans or Baton Rouge, (which are cities an hour away from me) they are mostly asking for at least $1500. Our groomer was trying to breed her two yorkies and was going to charge us $650 for a female. But, pregnancy did not take place because her male was still too young. My mom had an original budget of paying only $650. Until I told her it would be near impossible to get a puppy for that price. Especially a female. We did look into rescues, but they were all out of state. So, I finally talked to my mom about going half and half. And she finally let up. Now, I am just counting the days until Chloe is old enough to go home!
