JMO - I think most people know what they are looking for, whether it is breed standard or not. I knew the breed standard when purchasing, but never took much thought in it. I just wanted to find a HEALTHY, baby doll faced pup that loved me. I wanted to know the second I saw her that we were meant for each other, and I did. Those not interested in breeding, like myself, may be looking for their perfect yorkie, not 'the' perfect yorkie. JMO.

Also, I live in Virginia and I ended up having to pay $2000 for a female baby. It may be my area too, like Cali, that has high prices. That's what they all typically ask, and it appears that's what they get. I've even had locals tell me I got a 'good' deal. I think it is too much to ask, but for a beautiful, healthy Yorkie I'd pay anything I could, knowing it would always be worth it. For me, once I held Laila for the first time, I have never questioned or thought of the cost sense. It was pennies to pay for the love I have recieved in return.
