How much are yorkies nowadays? |
The prices are so variable. Region, city etc. I would have thought LA might have been more expensive vs a vs a show breeder. But 2k seems about right from a good breeder that health tests, champions there dogs, and gives a good health warranty.
You don't buy from a show breeder cause you want a dog to show, you buy from them because their breedings should be healthy and represent well the breed. In fact as a pet owner a show breeder would never place a show pup in a pet home.... The breeder should stand behind you for the lifetime of your dog.
