Its a hard question to answer because prices are different in different places. You wanna make sure that the pup's parents have had health and genetic testing on them, that they are free of LP, that the pup is AKC registered, that the breeder is not breeding mixes or lots of dogs at one times, that the breeder isn't letting the pups go before 12 weeks, that the breeder is not housing her dogs in outside buildings, and that the breeder is following the YTCA. My yorkie who ended up coming from a broker (didn't know better) and the broker got there pups from a puppy mill and she cost me $1,000 so price doesn't guarantee a good bred pup. Plus she was sick and that cost even more money plus puppy shots and wellness visits. Also make sure when saving money that you are also saving enough to keep in an account for emergency's because they do happen and can cost a lot of money.
