She does take great photos though! It is really hard to find a good quality yorkie here in Georgia. I know, since I looked around here first when I was deciding to get back into showing/breeding. There are a few great ones - like Ava, but only a handful of great breeders/exhibitors.

Not that way in Texas, I can only say that most of the reputable/responsible breeders here have at least 10 generations of Champions in their pedigree and the companion yorkies go for $1,000 - $1,500 on the average.
$3,000 Wow!......amazing. Yes, Ava is great.
There is a catch 22 going on here though. Responsible/Reputable Exhibitor/Breeders are getting more and more stringent with their contracts and who they sell their puppies to. Therefore, the puppymillers and BYB are raking in the buyers because of it.
