Well. I am near dover, NJ (nearish- 30mins away maybe less)...
Thing is, I didn't want to get a dog as in right off the bat.. You know what I mean? I didn't want to do an impulse buy.
I was hoping to wait 2 months to pick up the pup so I can have time and see which is the best breeder around, and other important stuff.
Let me just say, while I have taken care of our dog and the previous ones before her. (I use to live in an area with a lot of strays, I'd pick them up, clean them, feed them, and rehome them)
I wasn't the one to ever pick out a dog, or even pick out a breeder.... It's always been done by my sibling(s), or parents.. Now I am able to take on such responsibilities and I have quite a lot of free time on me I wanted to take one of my own.
So what all of this means is while I am not new to taking care of dogs, I am however new to picking them out, researching breeders, etc.
I don't even know what the average asking price is for a yorkie-- unless it's a byb....
From a breeder, I don't know what to expect in terms of price, what kind of stuff I have to bring(documents?) or if it's just a give them cash, and they just give you the dog no questions asked.
My question is, I understand that for yorkies usually the smaller ones cost higher, but what if you want one that's at least 8 pounds or so? What can I expect it to cost from a good breeder?
