I know some of you may consider this a personal question, so I'm sorry. I've just seen such an array of prices & was curious how it averaged out.

I'll be the first to admit that I paid more than I probably should have. I did find breeders with less expensive yorkies, but I really liked the breeder that I got mine from, so I spent the money.

Snickers was $2000.00. He had a sister that was $2500 and a tiny sister that was $3000. The breeder said that the only reason she was selling the tiny one for so much was b/c she only wanted someone who was really serious & it was ultimately sold to a 2nd time buyer. The mother was 6lbs & the father was 4.5lbs. She told me that Snickers & the other sister would be about 6lbs & the tiny one she hoped would get to 3 or 3.5 lbs. She advised that her prices were a bit higher also b/c the dad & grandfather were champions, which didn't matter to me b/c I only wanted a pet......but I fell in love with him.
