I don't know this lady but I lwas looking at her until I found my breeder. I think she's got a dog in the top 25.

Connie,

You are a trip.

Well, I look at it 2 ways..ours here run from $500 on up, but, with the economy like it is, and so many pups out there, I wouldn't pay over $500 for one now..

Sorry about the Breeders.net but I couldn't remember her name. She is a member of YTCA though

I should have known you'd know her Mary!

She's still showing, right?

Yes, Cindy is a member of YTCA....I send families to her when I don't have puppies. Yes, she's still showing, I've seen her at shows.

No, I didn't take pictures....the 5 weeks went so fast. With training Easy for the ring, my Go-Go's 1/2 sister and showing both her and CJ in Houston and Dallas.....Grooming the This Time dogs......I didn't have too much free time. And besides, I forgot my camera.

I've read females are more because there are more males born than females. Is that true?

I don't think buying out of state is a bad thing!!! I live in Montana and it's very hard to find Yorkies here....So I have looked out of state. Good luck..

Even in my 3rd world country, and the currency, etc etc, I still paid $350 for Mocha.

The "champion" lines are about $700-$1000, probably more.

I don't know if this was the right thing to do or not, but in the beginning when I called up the breeder she put up $500 for Mocha. I came over to find meet the pups, and me and the breeder hit it so well she let Mocha go for $350

She said she put up more expensive prices to scare off people only interested in "owning" a dog, not LIVING with them. I don't know if it makes sense or not, but that's what happened.

I think Yorkies must be much more expensive in the Northeastern part of the United States. When I was looking, earlier this year, the lowest price was $1,200, and this was not from championship lines. Championship lines was much, much, higher. My 12 year old cost $700.

LittleBits Mom · 10-15-2008, 06:13 AM

Wow! I charge between $800- $1200 plus any shipping costs. I have only shipped one puppy by itself ever and that was recently. Contential did a wonderful job and so many breeder friends said they have never had any problem, so I thought I would try it. The puppy did great and the new owner was very very happy.

fadeddenim · 10-15-2008, 03:01 PM

$1,200 seems to be the lowest I've seen. I'm taking my time and looking around. I don't want to rush and just BUY a puppy. I'm going to do some research on the breeder and the puppy before I make up my mind.

AshasMom · 10-15-2008, 05:11 PM

I paid $650 and drove 3 and 1/2 hours out of state for my Barney and he was well worth it! Came from a fellow YTer. Would do it again in a second to buy from this breeder!

Jacklynn · 10-15-2008, 05:30 PM

I paid about $500 for Wrigley. I personally wouldn't pay over around $700. I can't afford anything more than that. If I spent more than that I couldn't afford the care it deserves. So $500 was a good price for us. Now he is able to be spoiled

Excellent statement.

I was told years ago when I was looking for my first show dog.....You find your breeder first. Remember when you're buying a puppy you are getting a relationship.....It's a two way street.

I know with my contracts I offer life time grooming and free boarding. It's a way for me to see my pups on a regular basis. So, my puppy's new families know they have me 7x24 for the rest of their puppy's life.

I'm in Missouri but many of my puppies (I raise 2 litters per year) go to the L.A. and San Francisco area's. Our prices are usually in the $1000-$1500 range plus shipping. The families that have our puppies tell us they expect to pay twice that much in state.

Buying out of state or out of the country for that matter is sometimes a necessity, but it's always best to do your homework. Find a reputable breeder first....then wait until the person you trust has the puppy you want. Yes it means you have to wait, but all the best things are worth waiting for.
