How much to charge for puppies?

[missj2007]

Go with the price your are comfortable with 800 is a good price. Here breeders sell males for 600 and 800. Females are 800 and up.

from what i hear CA is an expensive market. I see people posting they paid 2,500 for a healthy akc tiny girl in CA. I say 1,500 for the girls 1,200 for the boys.

Yea that'd be nice, I posted them for 950/1000 and have gotten a bunch of hits, as soon as I mention the price in the email I dont hear back from anyone, hehe... but hey, they arn't cheap, I'm not tryin to make a PROFIT necessarily, but I dont see ANYONE selling them for 400! I would love to trade a female for a female, so I could have another little girl and possibly breed her in the future with the same male, but everyone willing to trade is CKC, not AKC. blah.. anyone in the area wanna trade?

I bought Max 3 1/2 years ago for 950.00, at least in Dade and Broward County prices are higher now.

WOW all very good advice, thank u so much. Yorkies sell for a LOT over here, I just wanna find them the best homes tho. I'll keep all that advice in mind tho, they are only 2 weeks so I still have plenty of time to find homes, I have them posted everywhere and have gotten tnos of interested people, but only for much cheaper and i refuse to lower their price just because people arnt willing to pay what I am asking, I dont think it's unreasonable when u see them going for much more.

i bought Suzi from A retired woman from Viasalia. sp. Suzi did not, however have papers though, and i paid $600.00. Which is very good for a Yorkie. She had her shots too. and was dewormed twice.
I have seen In the same paper Yorkies advertised at least 600-1200. i believe the females go for a little higher amount.
I totally agree to make certain they go to good, loving stable homes. You can charge more too, if they have been vet checked.
Whatever you do please do not send them to the pet store Animal house in Lemoore. I know that the store has a lot of pure breds there, However, I hate to see beautiful puppies in their store.
How old are your furbabies? Anther place that could be a safe way to advertise is on craigslist, Fresno. People are not allowed to "sell" their puppies , yet you could advertise.

WOW avenal is really close! well i think anyways, hehe. I am on the navy base. do u breed yorkies?

oh yea, cali is much more expensive than FL, my inlaws live in Deltona and even their gas hasn't hit $4 yet, ours is 4.50! and KEEPS GOING UP! lol

to me i guess it all depends in the area you are living in or advertising in...no reputable breeder ever makes a profit...and sometime never break even...thats my opinion...so you will have to calculate the cost of everything involved in this litter to get a break even point or so.

whats a puppy thief?

[ashleere]

I have seen puppies in my area (Northern CA- SF Bay aea) go from $400.00 and up. It just depends on size and conformation. How many do you have? How big are they? What sex? I am also looking for a small female. do you have any pics?

well see whats good about my house is its on a navy base, nobody can get to it, hehe, well not without being shot! i also was told that since my female momma is over the weight limit of AKC standards i might not get what i am asking for them, so now i worry if they are too cheap they will be undersold. i really dont know! the dad is small and he "kicks out" small pups, all his litters have been small, so i dunno, we will see. i will be looking for another smaller female here in the near future from someone here locally (cant afford shipping charges) and i want her to have a litter of smaller pups.
