I think it depends on the area. My Diesel was 500, parents are health tested for everythng, dna tested, I know at least the mom had a wonderful coat as well. He was priced so well because of the vet. I had posted when I got him that the breeder lives down the road from where I grew up. Goes to the same vet as I brought my critters to growing up. Very old man, very old school, very old prices. :D Plus, she has done all of her vet care for her Yorkies with him for all of the 14 years she has been breeding. Small town, small price. :) |

Did you know that Yorkies are thirty-six times more likely to have a liver shunt that all other breeds combined? A bile acids test is inexpensive ($40-80 depending on your area) and easy to do. I personally would not consider buying a Yorkie puppy unless he had a BAT. |
What is the difference in a byb and a reputable breeder?I hear that alot and was just wondering what makes you reputable? This is a great comparison of a reputable breeder with a backyard breeder: http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Fair/1901/chart.html |
I think it depends on where you live .Around here to get a high quality male or female with all the testing and champion bloodlines (in the first 3 generations) 1000.00 tops. You will pay more for a quality hunting dog around here than a small dog whether it be a yorkie etc... |

Another problem I have ran into is even if I could afford a high quality show dog to better my breeding program most people sell only on spay or neuter contracts because they dont want you getting part of their bloodline.I had a lady going to sell me one of her older females but when I got there she raised the price and I didnt have that much much cash on me.When I got the money I called her back and she had changed her mind.I was very disappointed because I had been talking to her for a month about this dog.We were waiting for her to wean her puppies she had just had.So I guess what I am saying is no one wants to share their bloodlines whether they are puppies or older dogs.So how do you get started with high quality dogs????????? |

Hmm, good question(literally-im not being a smart a**)!! |
personally I think the true test of a good breeder is their reaction and actions after they find out one of their pups they sold has something wrong with them. For example, I have a std poodle that we have been spending more then $200 a month at the vet for the past 2 years!!! he has had multiple problems, some genetic, some rare...but when I called the breeder just to let them know what has been going on..I was rebuffed, questioned and they wished to speak to my vet. i gave them full access to speak with my vet, my vet then told me that they were 'A piece of work...' They accused the vet of lying (do multiple blood tests/panels lie??) and trying to extort money...the funny thing was I NEVER mentioned money nor did he... Any warm and fuzzy feeling I had beforehand is now GONE about this breeder. And yes they are STILL breeding his parents:( |

you have sired 3 litters in a year I think that is the #. you can voluntar to dna test both males and females but this is not a gentic test or health test. alot of breeders who have sired several litters will be contacted by akc to have there male dna tested before they can reg. a litter. |
