You might want to consider other towns like Baton Rouge, Gonzales, Lafayette, Houma. When I did rescue (and im originally from Louisiana we'd always pick up dogs in these towns from breeder homes every now and then) I know the flea market in prarieville used to have dogs but I highly doubt they were reputable, but they might know someone. If you really want to find a reputable breeder, you gotta REALLY do your homework. It takes a while and sometimes you gotta make a drive. I put some serious miles on my car but then found my breeder an hour away. You could even ask yorkie owners in like petsmart where they got it.

OH, and FWIW 1500.00 isn't really that outlandish, a reputable breeder might be asking around the same neighborhood.
