I wouldn't know if she was a steal... you never mentioned her price. Infact, I thought you were asking what a fair price would be.

The $1200-2500 reflects what I was referring to. That is an extremely elevated price for a nonstandard Yorkie with or without being from a fully CH pedigree.

I posted in a earlier post but her asking price is 850 with full registration.

Yorkshire Terrier Club of America Official Breed Standard

Her color is what they call a "fault". Yes, she could and probably does have an
AKC registration. She just didn't come out the correct color. She is a cutie but I hope they're not trying to sell her as "rare".

Yes no such thing, same as "teacup" yorkie. as in not to the breed standard. I guess the same as chocolate and partis? That is until they get accepted as a breed in the future?

I think 850 is a steal for any yorkie.


Also wanted to say... cj125 is right, just hoping the breeder does not sell as rare and charge more (which they seem not to be doing). We had looked at a family of yorkies the day after we got Uni. the mom was a golden. She was also bigger than standard. She had 7 pups, yes seven! They were huge. (Also the dad was aggressive, that's why they had him locked up in another room! Thanks goodness we didn't buy from them!!!) Anyway, what I'm saying is when you have a fault such as this, they should not be bred to pass on that gene.

SOOOO CUTE! get her get get her GET HER!

[danyellm]

I would say go for it!She sure is a cutie!

She looks like a sort of CREAM color to me. I SOOOOOOOOOO wish someone REPUTABLE/KNOWLEDGEABLE (ie. the parent club, YTCA) would establish a color code/standard,(INCLUDING THE CURRENT WEIGHT STANDARD) /pattern for the different colored Yorkies.
I sometimes see Brindley looking puppies called Chocolate or Golden just to suit the person breeding for what ever color they choose to prefer. And some sort of reddish being called golden or chocolate.
It seems there are so many clubs, groups, registries popping up just to suit the dog they own whatever size or color.

She is very cute! But she looks like a Yorkie-Poodle mix to me. Especially with the ears being down and long. Some Yorkies ears are down but not that long at 12 wks (IMO) I hope they are being honest about her being a Golden Yorkie.

Yes, they do seem to be. I guess the mentality is, when what you have doesn't fit the mold, make up somthing that does and try to make yourself seem 'official.' As a matter of fact, I am starting my own registry next week called the "Yorkies Who Like to Sleep on Fluffy Red Pillows" registry...because it certainly 'suits' mine.

I don't think that is what she was trying to say, but there is ALWAYS the possibility that the breeder is not being honest and that the pedigree you are getting is not accurate. I'm certainly not saying that is the case here...I wouldn't know, but it happens.

It's kind of hard to answer your question as to a "fair price". What seems 'fair' to one, may not be 'fair' to the next. I.e. I would think that $2K for a quality specimen who meets standards with CH lines would be 'fair' but that charging anything over than about $400 for a dog that varies from the standard so much is a rip off. But that's just MY opinion on what I think is "fair." What's fair is an opinion. The only opinion that really matters here is your since you will be the one purchasing the dog.

OOOOO I want to join, I want to join (jumping up and down). LOL And can we have a sub-category for "Chocolates Sleeping on Fluffy Red Velvet Pillows?"
Please, please, please, can we, can we?

WOW, scandalous!!! I'm glad you saw that before purchasing.

[capt_noonie]

Oh wow, I didn't even realize the length of ears. Good job whoever noticed that. then yes I agree, paying more than $300 or 400 for a mix is too much.
