I am also in the process of trying to get a female yorkie pup and have a price range of about $1000. I live in Phoenix and the prices out here are amazingly high from what I have found so far. So I am going to get a puppy in North Carolina when I am visiting my father next month. I have done a ton of research also and I am sorry to say that I have not heard a lot of good things about really teeny tiny yorkies, not only are they more breakable but I have also heard they are more likely to get sick and such. But I could be way off that is just what I am reading. Also most the time the 'teacup' yorkies are going to be way way more expensive. The average size is supposed to be 4-7 pounds though, I still think that is pretty small, what do you think? Where are you from? Good luck to you, I know how frustrating this process can be.
