So I guess it's my turn to jump in on this circus.......If you do a quick search of Cindy Hill Yorkies she comes up as a reputable show breeder

I don't know the Pedigree of the puppy that is being purchased but I am POSITIVE it's not show quality because he would be in the ring. Show breeders breed for that ultimate champion and it seems that she has at least 2 that have gone to Westminster.
The prices on the East coast are about $3,000 from a show breeder so I'll say double. IMO the OPer should fly out there to see the puppies and how they live and also meet the breeder in person.
But the price tag is WAY OVER THE TOP but I guess if the OPer want to pay $6,000 for a puppy why bother to argue with her. I on the other hand know show breeders that would find her $6,000 price tag totally outrageous but whatever......OPer have at it and I hope you will be satisfied with your decision to spend at least triple the price but it's your money and your decision.
