(In the LA area it seems like a few people have been ripped when buying a pup for $400-$800 that have LP, a shunt or even parvo...this is within the last few months) I would say the average is about $1,000-$1,500, but I have seen a few for $3,000 and up. With th eeconomy I think the price has been driven down because people need to spend their mony elsewhere.
| You are right! However, even in California, in certain areas prices are going to vary greatly, and it is not necessarily true that paying $400-$800 for a yorkie puppy is going to automatically give you a sick baby or one with health problems.
I live in the San Joaquin area> Which is in Fresno , it is the farming community, however Fresno area is the large city, but their are Cities , many very small communities . Kings County area is not a higher income area, prices are going to be less, that DOES NOT mean that puppies are going to be ill of health. It is insulting when California residents assume that all CA. people have to pay huge amounts of $$$$$ for a Yorkie pup in order for one to be always healthy and perfect, depends the the area.
I came from the BAY AREA. A huge Jump from where i live now .If I live there , then Of course I would be paying through the NOSE for a Yorkie Pup. I would expect it .My Suzi is over a YR old now, SO far , SO good. NO terrible, Illness, and SHE has been HEALTHY, no PARVO, or anything . MY breeder was good . She did not cost me thousands of dollars , and she's a PURE bred .
