I have heard from 500.00 - 850.00 depending on pedigree and whether the stud is a champion/Specialied (has championship and still be shown to get National rating) or not - this is on a proven stud. Of course all testing and certificates are given and female testing on her too. A repeat breeding is usually always given free of charge if no pups produced from first litter. It is customary to breed and skip a day and then breed again. It is best - I have heard - not to keep breeding every day of that week since the sperm count will go down (younger males you do not have to worry as much about this). I have always taken my female in to the vets to find out what day is best to do the breeding.
Of course - your main objective to find the best compatible male to your female. You need to her faults, so you can make sure the stud does not have the same faults. You also want to breed yorkies that are to standard - not jsut to get pups.
Best of luck!
