Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Prices vary fairly widely for a number of reasons. $850 for a well bred "pet quality" Yorkie is a fair price, in my opinion.
On the other hand, I would be unhappy that the breeder did not have the registration in order before breeding the pups. Hard to put a dollar amount on this.
If you were sold an AKC Yorkie for purposes of breeding, $850 would be extremely low and the first sign that someone was wrong.
Hope you can come to an understanding with the breeder.
