Ex-NYer here, Da Bronx, $2500.00 + is what you will pay in NY for a healthy quality pup. NY pet shops put a high price tag on puppy mills pups and mixed "designer" dogs. Look outside of NY, but expect to pay close to that $2500. if you're looking for a healthy baby. Make sure the breeder is close enough to you that you can drive to see it and the living conditions it is in. I am not keen on buying a pup from a picture and having it flown in with or with out a Courier. If you don't mind an older baby rescuing is so rewarding and you're saving a life, there are plenty of young yorkies looking for homes, maybe not so many in NY but in adjoining states. I always had 8 week old puppie, now I have a rescue boy, he was 2.5 y/o now he is 4 y/o, he was NOT an abused dog, he was a surrender boy, mom had a new baby and couldn't cater to the dog, so off to the pound he was going.Everyone / anyone will always buy the puppies, it's the babies that have been thrown away that need your love and a happy home, glad you are at least thinking of rescuing. Good luck in your decision to rescue or get a puppy and good look in finding a breeder that has healthy babies. Good luck in your quest to find a healthy baby.
