Depending where you get your puppy, meaning what state, and if the breeder is a good, reputable one with a good health guarantee, you can pay $3500. and over. For mix dogs once called mutts, now called "designer" dogs, a Maltese / Yorkie mix, now called Morkies are selling for $3500. and ppl do pay that price, 
crazy.
