$4500 for a pet Yorkie is most likely a broker, which you want to avoid.
Price depends on what area the breeder resides. For a pet quality Yorkie puppy, reasonable is $900 to a little over $2,000. Boys are usually priced lower than girls. In my area, boys are around $1600 and girls are $1800.
What is your idea of small? Not all small Yorkies are the product of poor breeding. Sometimes small ones can pop up in a litter, just like larger ones.
