The price range is so variable roughly speaking the northeastern larger cities appear to be at the top end pricing wise and midwest is more reasonable.

There is a saying to buy your breeder first very true. To some degree it is what is within your budget For a pet quality Yorkie paying $3000 and over is way too much. Anything under $700 or so unless it is a rehome and or an older dog is probably too little and the breeder is unlikely to be doing the health tests research etc prior to breeding.

Once you have your purchase price saved uo save uo another $1500 or so for first year vet care and some put aside in case of emergency visits. Seriously consider pet insurance that covers genetic conditions and also accidents.
