look at websites, find the look that you are looking for, then reswearch the breeder. When you find one you like, contact them about their puppies. Low prices do not mean poor quality and high prices do not mean high quality. Be aware of marketing terms such as doll face, teacup etc. Do not buy from a breeder who is willing to let the puppy go before 10 weeks. You are off to a good start by being on here asking questions. | |

| I bought a yorkie with CH parents and didn't spend near 4000. I know that you can buy a nice yorkie with nice lines behind it for alot less than that. I would mostly stay away from people that are using "special" terms like teacup, rare, etc.... to sell their dogs for more. I also like to think that it is worth it to pay a little more and get what you want from a good reputable breeder, you are not just buying a dog, but begining a realtionship that can last the durration of the dogs life, a good breeder will give you support, and answer your questions long after the sale is final. You also are paying for the breeder's hard work, and knowledge, good ethics are worth their weight in gold IMO. A normal price for a pet seems to range between 800-2000 roughly(kind of a big range but I know people that have paid more and less than that).

| If you could I'd work with our breeders. They're great. You can also look in the rescue section. You might be able to get a slight break if the breeder feels the yorkie won't meet the standards. Just contact some of them. You may be put on a waiting list, but that's what happens when you have a good breeder.

YT Addict | Exactly. Derby is healthy and was well cared for, but he was the biggest guy of the litter and it shows even now! for $850 i think we scored a good deal. Like I said earlier, by husband went looking for a bigger Yorkie. Standard means nothing to him He wanted a bigger one, and Derby was the last picked because he was this gigantic Yorkie in the litter LOL |
