I agree with the take the 5k and fly to Fredericksburg VA where I got my 2 babies and you will still have money left over.
My Caesar weighed 2.9 lbs at 11 wks. he is now 6 mo old and weighs around 5 lbs. He won't fit in those cute little purses but he is very healthy and all muscle. So he probably would be about 4 lbs if he wasn't so active. He is still small.
My Cleo weighs 3.3 lbs. and is 11 wks 2 days today. (I used my candle wax scales to weigh her today so I don't know how accurate they are)
If you want one smaller, I got Cleo Tuesday and my breeder had a drop dead georgous little boy that was born 2/10. She will let him go in another 1 to 2 wks. He was a lot smaller than Cleo. If Cleo turns out to be Caesar's size then I guess this one to max out at 4 lbs. His mother weighed 6 and his dad weighed 4. He was quite a bit smaller than her and that is the only reason that I didn't get him. I have a pic if you want to see him. I babysit a neighbor and have a step son, my hubbie is 6'1" about 260 so I wanted a bigger Yorkie Not over 7 lbs but not 3 either.
I paid $750 for him and $775 for her. She went up on her prices 2005 so she is asking $800 (m) & $850 (f) now but still that is a good price and her pups are very healthy.
anyway this is all my opinion and if you don't have kids and want the smaller one they go for it. I just really think 5k is too much. You could even take a 6 hr + drive somewhere to find one.
Where are you? My breeder has drove hours to find champs to buy for breeding maybe she can help you.
Good luck and again this is only my opinion.
