I think it depends on the area you live for the most part.
Vet fees play a huge role IMO...in teh midwest breeders can pay as little as $100 for a c-section..east/west coast breeders may pay as much as $1800.
Now that Yorkies are so popular in AKC ranking,the prices have gone insane.
I remember the first time I asked $500 for a champion-sired female...then $1000, $2000, that seemed unbelievable. Now $1500 is a very fair price for a pet in my area..infact $2000 in the newspaper is common...go to Teacups in Ft Lauderdale and you pay $3000 to $5000.

I have friends in Ky who feel $600/$800 is top dollar....NY/Ca. are extremely high.
