| ![]() Welcome! ![]() ![]() Once you decide that you can afford the pup, research breeders. It is said that you buy the breeder first, then the pup. If you find a reputable breeder that does the right things for healthy, happy pups you may spend more up front, but it will save you in the long run. Not just monetarily... One thing to keep in mind is that reputable breeders will keep their pups til they are at least 12 weeks old. So, the breeder will be the ones paying for the first shots...money saved for you. So you might want to keep that in mind when "price shopping"...although, I would recommend not going with a certain breeder just b/c the price is lower...JMHO. Good luck with your search. ![]() |

| ![]() Here is a yorkie rescue group located in Greensboro! Take a look at the available dogs. If you don't see anything you are interested in, I would call them and tell them what you are looking for. Available Yorkies

Remember, you buy your breeder first, your dog 2nd. The deal doesn't end when you walk out that door with your pup. Your breeder should be available to you 7x24 for the rest of that pups life. By the way $500.00 for your pup; being a cross breed was too expensive. The papers you obtained were not AKC.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | ![]() It's a shame you are blowing off rescues. My family has 4 yorkies (3 pure bred, 1 mix) that came from rescues as puppies. They are a joy. Good luck finding a pure bred in that price range. I hope it works out well for you. You've been given good advice by people who have been in your position and would do things differently. Will you find a poorly bred one in that range? I'm sure you will. The BYB are all over the place. BTW- I'm looking for a brand new Mercedes ML350, but I think $47,000 is too steep. Think I can talk a good dealer down to 10 grand?

![]() And, a good rescue thoroughly vets their pups. Their dogs are spayed/neutered, are vaccinated, have had dentals and other major health problems addressed/treated before they are ever adopted out to their new families! If you choose to pay the lower prices of a poor breeder/greeder, you're taking a much greater 'chance' than you would be adopting from a reputable rescue. Breeders with prices like you're insisting on sell to anyone with no care for their pups, they don't perform any medical/genetic testing and they breed animals without full knowledge of the lineage and any health problems in those lines. Good luck in your search for a healthy pup.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | ![]() Quote:
Rescues are in dire need of people who'll provide good homes for dogs these days but if you have your heart set on a cheap yorkie be prepared to incur vet bills - it may not happen - but then again it may - the BYB's don't care about what dogs they breed and many health issues are passed down ....people never expect it and they can develop after you already THINK you have a healthy puppy. Just visit the Sick and Emergency section here - there are way too many dogs with serious health issues due to bad breeding and its the dogs who suffer and the people who love them good luck

As for the Mercedes comment, what do you think a reputable dealer would do if I walked in there and told them I would only pay 10K for that car? They would tell me they couldn't possibly do it because the car cost them more than that and then politely point me towards the door and down the street to the used Kia dealership. Now, there isn't anything wrong with me buying a used Kia, but I have to have different expectations when I do. I'm not going to get everything I want just because I think Mercedes over prices their cars. If someone said they would sell me a brand new Mercedes for 10K, knowing what I know, I'd have to seriously wonder what the catch was.

And, I personally don't think you should lose hope on a cheaper dog from a reputable breeder. I believe they exist - even healthy yorkies. Good luck!
