I think it depends on the area in general, but specifically right now the prices are due to the pandemic. If your in a metropolitan the prices might be more expensive than people who live in the country.
I have 2 Yorkie at the moment and was looking for a third puppy Yorkie or not. I paid $600 for one 3 years ago and $550 the same week we went into quarantine. I got in contact with the breeder for my 3 year old and they now sell puppies for $3000. I then got in contact with my 1yr old and they sell their puppies for $1500. I personally thought I would never pay past $1000 but due to me wanting to get a puppy before going back to work I am paying the $1500. This mentality is probable held by many people willing to pay more than normal. |
