Then there is ultra sounds and x-rays to see how many there are and if they will fit. Plus most Yorkies don't have very many pups. It seems like you do all the worrying and waiting and only get one baby. A good papered lab can cost over $200 and they can have 15 or pups at a shot. Yes it cost more to feed mom but other than that little dogs cost more to maintain for a year to get a litter. The lab person with 15 pups @ $200 takes in $3000 and a Yorkie breeder only has 2 pups and can take in $3000. The difference is that the lab breeder has more pups to make up the cost with.
Also you pay for blood lines. And the cost of showing and grooming dogs.
