| How much should I pay? Hi all, Just joined minutes ago. I think I've found the puppy for me..except his price tag is a bit higher than expected: $1500, a Durrer male champion. I wasn't looking for a "champion", but this little guy captured me instantly.. So, I ask...what is a reasonable price for one of these puppies, in your opinion? Thanks, Dodger Who accidently signed on as Dodge....but my puppy's name will be Dodger :P |

| JMHO but if you are getting a Durrer champion for $1,500 I'd take it in a nano second. Many pet quality Yorkies are over a thousand dollars so I doubt you can go wrong if you decide to make this purchase. |

| Wow! For me personally that is a whole lotta money...I paid $650 for Brooklyn( and that is still a whole lotta moolah for my poor butt, LOL) and her great grandmother was a champion. But If you have researched the breeder well and feel that this is the pup for you I say go for it. I looked at Brooklyn and then looked around at few others but I just kept going back to her...I knew she was for me and I was for her. |

| I would pay that for a Durrer pup in a second, They are beautiful dogs and very typey(sp?) love their faces. Good luck with your decision.

| I have gathered valuable info from YT breeders that I will most definitely use the next time I go Yorkie shopping. Health guarantee is going to be at the top of my list. That will be worth the amount of money I will have to pay. IMO health issues are the most difficult to deal with for the furbaby and the owner. Been there, done that.

| I think $1500 is very reasonable for a healthy, well-bred yorkie from a reputable breeder.

| Yes, that's very reasonable. Plus, it sounds like a quality dog too. I think with that price, that quality and the fact that you've fallen in love with him...it's a sign to get him
