I know how you feel - it can be disheartening and very time consuming.
But, like others have said, the time you put into research is invaluable. I spent over a year looking for the right breeder, considering if I actually wanted a dog, what type, what to look for, how much to spend, etc.
I have been rewarded with a very good pet quality dog from champion bloodlines (his grandpa is the only Yorkie to ever have won best in show in Crufts!) from a reputable breeder. I checked the Yorkshire Terrier Club of England site to get a breeder and the breeder was actually a chairman of the club and an international show judge. I paid about $900 for my dog.
SO, moral of the story, not all reputable breeders are going to charge millions of dollars. And, the higher price doesn't guarantee a good dog or reputable breeder. Research is key.
YT is invaluable for the info you will find and everyone is great with answering questions.
Keep searching, don't get disheartened and good luck!
