Katie, my first yorkie that I purchased back in 1987, I paid $550 for her. She weighed in full grown at 5.5 pounds. No teeth problems, no championship in her bloodline, no other health issues until she turned 4 - she developed colitis and had to be put on meds each time it "flared" up. Gabby, my second precious girl, was purchased in 1997 for $450....again, no problems with her whatsoever, but she's a "porker" weighing in at 16 pounds (more of her to love
). Gage was a rescue and all it cost me for him was the car ride to the idiot's house to get him and he tops the scales at around 7 pounds. To me, there are a lot of factors that go into the price set by the breeder for the precious babies, most of which has been mentioned already. If you're looking for a pet only furbaby, then you don't need to spend a lot of money for the love and affection they give. Price is gonna depend on what you're looking for. Best of luck
