If you feel comfortable with what you paid for your dog and you got exactly what you wanted, don't worry about what everyone else says or thinks. I only paid $500 for Mollie that's only because I got her from a very good friend of mine. I would have gladly paid more.

| I always justified it this way when convincing my husband to buy Pita- She should live at least 10 years, I paid 800.00 that's only 80.00 per year! Only 30 cents a day! For all of the joy and happiness she brings me that is a small amount of money. I have also have paid more for horses that eat more and I spend less time with! I guess pedigree and the area you live in will decide how much a pup is worth but my hubby always says "Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it!" |

| I only paid $450 for Haylee. But I got a huge discount because I used to take care of the breeders dad. She is not going to be a tiny one but I knew that going in. I fell in love with her Mom several years ago and fell in love with Haylee on site. But I would have paid whatever I had to to get her. |

| I bought 2 female Yorkies about 15 years ago for $100.00 they were 3lbs & 4lbs. I never owned a dog in my life before the 2. I fell in love the minute I saw them. The guy told me that his children were not nice to the dogs and he had to get rid of them. It was the first time I ever saw a Yorkie, they are the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. My sister took the one that weighed 3 lbs and I took the one that weighed 4lbs. After 9 years went by she developed a tiny lump under her arm, I took her to the vet and he said that it was nothing. After a few months went by the lump seemed to have gotten bigger and it seemed to hurt her when I touched it, I took her back to the vet and he said they will operate, we scheduled the operation and after the operation my baby (Pebbles) lasted only 2 weeks. I cried like never before. She was the most devoted dog I have ever known. She waited for me to get home from work to pass I will never forget that look on her face when she took her last breath as if saying, "I am glad you are here." I did not think of getting another dog till 2 years ago. I went to Florida bought a house and said to myself I am definately missing something. I thought a dog! I searched throught the ads on the paper and found 1 breeder that had just one puppy left. I went to see the puppy, she was the cutest little teddy bear in the world. He had a home full of Yorkies, that were amazing. He sold me the puppy for $600.00 maybe he liked the way I played with all his dogs and he knew I was going to be a great mommy. But today Rosie is 2yrs old and she just had a litter of 2 three mths ago. I love her to death and I had to keep another. I also got a mixed terrier who is about 25lbs and he is absolutely wonderful. Do not listen to what people say I would have paid more for such a beautiful breed. Enjoy her and love her forever. Sorry for the long post. Dee Rosie, Nena & Rex say hello! |

| Dee, What a wonderful post. I agree.... these dogs are certainly worth more than what they cost.... Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad to hear you got another. I lost my Mollie (wasn't with her when she passed) unexpectedly and I moped around here for months until I bought Dixie. Once you get used to having a Yorkie in your life, its just not the same without them. |

| As long as you're happy with what you got for your money I wouldn't worry about what other people think. The value of an item depends on how much you want it, and if you get what you want for the money you pay. It sounds like your happy with her, so don't worry about others. |

| This one is so subjective. Prices vary around the country. Overall I'd say you got a great deal for a "show" quality Yorkie. But what price do you put on a family member? Or happiness? The next time someone has something negative to say just give them your biggest grin and say "And she was WORTH every last penny!!!" Have fun loving that little furbaby.

| They're like antiques, if you see what you want and can pay for it, go for it. I paid $800 for Chloe and $2500 for Lacey, both are registered but Lacey is smaller with a champion daddy, but neither one is show quality. Who cares, I just wanted a loving pet, with a great personality that matched me. |

| When people ask me "how much one of those dogs cost" my response is always -- they run about $1,200 a pound. |

| First, if someone ASKS how much you paid, you can feel free to be as rude to them as they are to you. You do not owe them an answer. But, if you love her and are happy with her, you paid the perfect price for her..My friend has a Lab and she is always comparing the price of my Yorkies with her dog. I tell her that my dogs are organic, range fed filet mignon and Stormy is burger, But, we joke and we know it.. |

| One thing people forget. It's your $! I look at it this way. If you want something bad enough you will pay what the price is. I have people tell me all the time I was stupid for the amount of $ I paid for my yorkies. Some people will not pay over a certain amount and some don't have a price limit. I guess what I am trying to say is this was your choice don't let anyone make you 2nd guess your self.
