If you are patient and really do your homework checking out breeders, you can find the right Yorkie for your price from a reputable breeder. I was very lucky that way, but patience was the key.
If you are willing to go with a slightly older dog (i.e. not a 12 week old puppy), you can find great breeders who have held back a pup and decided to let them go to a pet home for a lower price. My Teddy was held until he was 7 months.
