I am new to the group. I am hoping to get a Yorkie puppy in the next year or so. I have been looking for over one year and researching the breed. How much is the average price for a pet quality yorkie? Sex does not matter to me. I only ask because the prices seem to vary so much. I have seen them listed for anywhere from $500 to $2000. When I have called to inquire, some of the the breeders have stated they charge the same for show and pet quality. Needless to say I will not call these breeders again. I am leary of $500 and knocked over by $2000 for a pet quality puppy. I can understand $2000 for a show quality puppy but not for a pet quality one. I am more concerned that the puppy is happy and healthy than what they look like. I do not plan to breed. Can some one help me? Also, does anyone know of a really good breeder in New Jersey. I live in Hunterdon County.

Thanks so much. I love these site and find it very informative.
