I would just like to be careful to where to buy from i've been reading a lot in this forum to be careful to buy from online and its best to see the puppy in person so i decided the best way to find out a good breeder is from you guys who LOVES yorkies, so pls if any of you know pls let me know.

| hmm. Breeders in california for the most part are a ripoff. Every breeder i found wanted over 1200$ for akc registered yorkies. Im not saying they are not quality but the costs were rediculous. I got both my yorkies from breeders in arkansas shipped by commercial airliner for 700 a peice total. Im not saying you wont be able to find a reputable breeder for a good price in socal but im just saying good luck. if you pay more than 500 local you paid too much. Good luck and let us know if you do find a great breeder. |

| I don't think you can really fairly or accurately group all the CA breeders together and deem them as "ripoffs." Prices vary from breeder to breeder, depending on the costs they are shelling out for expenses. Some have more expenses to cover than other and naturally their prices will be higher. The goal in aquiring a new dog should not be to find the best price on one--the focus should be more on the quality of the dog itself. To the OP, I would start as suggested with the YTCA site. Check for breeders in your area and see if you can get a referral there. Also, go to some local shows if you have the chance. Vets are not always the most reliable source regarding judging specific breeds and the qualities that their standards call for, but ask anyway--maybe your vet could recommend someone to you. |
