Well.....long story short....after accepting Annabelle's fate....I later googled yorkies for sale in Alabama. I had no knowledge of yorkies. My hubby had said he wanted one and my family had been trying to prepare me for the day that something happens to my 14 year old peek-a-poo. Well....an ad came up with no prices. The puppies were gorgeous. I called. She said she sold her females for $1,200. There was no way I could afford that at that time. I told her I appreciated her time...we got to talking....I told her my story about Annabelle....she said if we would meet her in Montgomery (she was in Dothan) that we would agree on a price at that time that we both could live with. We left.....not really knowing what was going to happen.....when we got there....she had 2 females......LuLu was the first one I saw and immediately fell in LOVE! We talked......another long story short.....she sold us LuLu for $400.00. She's AKC registered, 9 months old, and weighs 4 pounds. I NEVER knew that something could grap my heart so fast. I still grieve for Annabelle.....we loved her dearly.....but I am forever sold on yorkies. And....I have gained a friend for life......Trish and I stay in touch frequently. God is so in control and knows exactly what we need and when we need it.

Sorry for the book.......but I love to share my miracle story. LuLu IS our miracle baby.

I love those kind of stories.

I paid $800 For my 20 pd Teapot!

ap1_alan · 12-17-2008, 11:44 AM

$1500 + tax in CA. I am sure I over paid (got roxy from a pet store, i know i shouldnt have) but she is so cute my gf saw her and had to have her. I have no regrets and would do it over again. We looked at many yorkies, and when we found her it was obvious to us she was the one.

She did have kennel cough soon after we got her, she was 3 months old at the time. Roxy is now 5 months old and just starting to get over the cough. At least the pet store has been covering all the vet bills, which have added up to over $1000 now.

Diva is the offspring of my brother's Yorkie. I paid $100 bucks to her breeder...a family discount. Can't beat it.

Maravilhosa, 2,200.00 then had to fight hard for her papers.. breeder played games with me.. some of you know my story... heartbreak and drama from breeder I went to..

Dallas was 2,000. as a stud.. my friend has him now.. free.. he was not a good stud, but a great dog...

Kandie 700.00 a little larger then she was suppose to be.. but the greatest yorkie..

Gracie, lots of heartache, and worries.. tube fed for two weeks night and day for her first two weeks... she was expensive and we did not add up her cost to keep her alive, we just did it and kept her...for the grace of god she is still alive.

Kruse 2,500 I co own him as a stud.. hopefully a stud...

kacee 600.00 .. He just came from heaven.. my boy died at 5 months after kacee came into my life.. he did everything pooh did.. everything.. was not planning on getting a puppy it happened..( not from a pet store)

Hopefully this doesn't sound wrong. But it depends on the class of dog you are buying. You can't expect to pay for a quality, AKC champion blood lines, showdog less than $2000.

BellaAmore · 12-17-2008, 01:05 PM

We paid $1700.00 for Bella, but then we live in NJ where it cost money to breathe

. But she was worth it. She is such a little precious "sweet puff"

. She brings such joy and happiness into our lives. Makes us laugh alot too. So much so that I want to get another little yorkie in late February or early March of next year in the NJ,NY,PA area. But this time I be looking for a breeder, not from a Pet Store. I have learned so much from this site and this is the most important

I paid $475 for my Sophie, She was $550, but somehow it helped to mention that I'm only 23 and a student....Though I would have paid more for her

akushion · 12-17-2008, 06:13 PM

I paid $450 for my baby with papers when he was 12 weeks old. I had been looking for a yorkie for a couple months but couldn't afford the prices of most (I'm an 18 year old college student). There was a flyer at a pet supply store that had the original price of $600 and said discounted so I called and the lady told me he was $450 because he was a little bit bigger. Needless to say.. I went to see him the next day and brought him home within the hour

. He is a very healthy and happy boy!

DYMONDS MOM 08 · 12-18-2008, 12:25 PM

My Dymond was $700.00. I was willing to spend more but when I saw her it was love at first sight.

spiked_poodle · 12-18-2008, 03:03 PM

I have 3 ranging in price from 550-1500

LOL, that is so true.. I got my Prada from PA, because I was afraid of shipping one from the west, but when my DAughter wanted a silkie terrier for her 24th birthday we could not find one single breeder in NJ, so we had to buy online and have her ship, she was a little older than when I got Prada, but we did our search and paid by CC thru paypal and got our girl.. she is beautiful and my daughter is besides herself with her..
hugs,
Carmen in nj

pebstheyorkie · 12-18-2008, 06:13 PM

How does it work when you purchase from someone far away? Do you pick the puppy out online from pictures? How do you know what the personality is going to be? Did you do some research on the breeder? I guess I would just be a little nervous trusting someone I had never met...

avasmama75 · 12-18-2008, 07:17 PM

Ava was 1200 and bowie was 1300

Hello everyone, Gucci was $700 with champion bloodline and the whole AKC paper thingy. He was a valentines gift from my ex bf (RIP). He's about 6lbs and 6 years old. I couldn't have asked for better. I originally wanted a girl but the breeder didn't have any left. Gucci's mom was artificially inseminated. The breeder had been breeding Yorkies and Maltese for 26 years! I flew from the Caribbean to Tampa then drove for about an hour to get to this breeder. All the puppies in the pen rushed to me and were all excited except for Gucci. He seemed unimpressed and like he couldn't be bothered. I should have known from then he was going to be a snob...LOL.
