It does all add up and the costs do vary due to where you live, etc. No one is saying that it doesn't cost much for breeding....I think everyone knows that for sure, especially those of us who do not breed and who have done our homework when searching for Yorkies. The days of getting a show quality dog (male or female) under $800 is pretty much non-existent (sp) anymore. I am just so glad to have found mine for that price, years ago. Agreed: just like everything else, prices go up as the years go by....breeders have to cover those costs, so therefore the prices for their pups go up too. Nothing wrong w/ that and I think any of us looking for a Yorkie, understand that and have no problems w/ it. If I had known prices would change so much, I would have definitely bought a female years ago too! -- that is for sure!
