I have heard prices in California are usually a bit more than in other places around the country, if you have not yet considered it, you may be able to find a more affordable price if you are willing to have your breeder ship your Yorkie. Good luck and have fun finding the perfect Yorkie for your home.

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for letting me know about the shipping alternative. I'll keep it in my mind for when I finally get my Yorkie!

There is a lot of information in it, about a lot of things.

Oh, and welcome to YT, by the way. I'm sure you will have a good time here.

Thanks. I'm going to get one ...

If anyone else is interested, here is the link to get the book on Amazon:

Hi thanks for the warm welcome ... good luck finding your own puppy as well

I've only seen ads for Yorkies on Next Day Pets and it is such a big range. I also saw a Yorkie at a shop (Moondoggies) in Orange County and I think she was $2300.

Wow you have such cute Yorkies ... and Ava looks SO adorable!!

By the way -- Happy Birthday to Hefner!

Hefner says thanks and yes, I love my new baby.

Prices do tend to be a bit higher in California with the bottom line being about $1200 for a decent yorkie and the average being about $2200 or so. If you are looking to get one from out of the state it is certainly possible but it really all depends on what you are looking for. I bought one of mine from Texas and had a great experience.

Smaller, cuter females are more wherever you look. There is a great little breeder in Covina that has adorable pups and they are around $2200.

Do you know what you want yet? When I was searching for Ava I told breeders I was looking for a healthy tiny female with small, well set ears, big eyes, short snout, a compact body, great full coat and a spunky personality!!! I was lucky and got it all because I was patient and didn't make an impulse buy with the first puppy I saw. If you PM me I can put you in touch with her breeder as she has friends who also breed for that "look" if that is what you like.

Thanks for replying again. I probably won't be buying one very soon, but I will be sure to PM you if I need to contact a breeder. All I know right now is that I want a brown & gold male. I uploaded a picture of Yorkie I like for my avatar. I like his color (I like slightly lighter, more golden Yorkies as well) and the shape of his face/ears/everything. I think he was $1500 from San Francisco, but he wasn't from a breeder ... his parents just had a litter. Anyhow, I also like them with short hair ... so I assume I will have to get my Yorkie trimmed pretty often?

We keep a puppy cut on Yoda (shaved back and chest) during the summer. For the face, we leave it normal length and we probably trim that every three weeks or so. For the puppy cut, a shave down will last about 5 to 6 weeks for us. We've been doing it ourselves lately, the haircuts and shaving.
