A puppy from a reputable breeder can cost any where from $1,000 to $2,000. Puppy mills and back yard breeders are really pretty bad and it can take a little while to find a great breeder but in the end it will be worth it. Getting a pup from a reputable breeder will end up costing you a lot less money in the end in most cases because reputable breeders know the lines of there dogs to know if any illnesses run in them an they do health testing. I would look for a breeder at ytca.org. All good breeders will follow the rules of The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America because that is the mother club and they have done research and put a lot into doing what is best for the breed. Some of the things to look for when looking for a reputable breeder are they will not let the pups go before 12 weeks, the will let you see where the pups are living/ the parents, you can see both parents, they do health testing they have a good health guarantee, they have a spay and neuter contract, they don't use the word teacup or micro, they do not breed female dogs under 5 pounds, they don't have a lot of litters at one time, and they don't breed mixes.
