I know the breeder in Hannibal, in fact, she is coming to my house this weekend to use Mick as a stud. She has no yorkies available at this time. I sent the following to you earlier, did you happen to call any of the ads. http://classifieds.democratandchroni...list=yorkshire "Get Rich", yeah right, with all of that is involved in raising a healthy litter of puppies, breaking even is barely attained. |

I did try to call the one that had them for $400.00. But of course neither of the two numbers worked???? I am telling you this is one hard search. I am willing to wait though so hopefully I will get lucky! Quote:

That is where I started (Shelters) I found many there but they will not consider me because I have a four year old. This is what is frustrating because I would definitely adopt from a shelter but they have stricter rules when it comes to children. Quote:

When I bought my first yorkie I remember saving for a long time. It took a while but I put a little aside each week until I got enough. I'll keep on the lookout and let you know if I find anything. |
I tried looking for u because i know how it feels to want one of these babies. I waited almost a year and then my mom got one for me. Here are 2 places that u could look. I dont know how far they are but I put in your zip code and it gave me these 2...the pups I think are like $650, I know its a little more than u want to spend, but maybe if u save a little more, then u could get one. Try them and tell me if they are ok. Here they are: http://www.breeders.net/breeder/144955 http://www.breeders.net/breeder/134715 |
Thanks again for all of your hard work in helping me find my yorkie. I really appreciate the support. I will consider saving up for a while and just waiting while I search for a yorkie that might be priced around my range. Please still give me ideas or information if you do see one for a little less!!! Thanks again everyone. I just had to mention this... I decided to check out Wizard of Claws to see how expensive their Yorkies were and they had one on there for $10,000!!! How is that possible and do people really pay this much for them???? That just seems out of control... am I right??? |
Wizard of Claws is BAD NEWS - do NOT buy from them even if they ever do have something in your price range. If you decide to buy from an ad you see online, run the name of the breeder and the kennel name through at least three different search engines and see if any complaints show up. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...t=Wizard+Claws |
I live in NYC, don't go with those breeders, it could be a bad situation. I am a new member here and a new yorkie mommie. I got my yorkie after tons of research, emails and conversations and finally went with Laura at Honey Creek Kennels. It's actually not a kennel but a home and she is very good with providing info and pictures before they come and she takes nice care of the doggies. She had given me a delivery date for my pup and then extended the date an extra 3 weeks because she didn't feel he was ready to go. She only has a few litters per year. I would recommend her highly. |
Forgot to give price I paid $1525 including airfare and all current shots, wormers, food and crate, plus she threw in a nice blankie |
I know how you feel amp... I live in Utica, and have run into the same things you are encountering. Last summer, when I began to seriously research breeders I planned to spend around $700, but now I'm thinking it's going to be more like $1,000. It was so frustrating, but I just started saving as I was researching the breed and now have enough money to get the dog. I'm actually traveling to NJ this weekend to look at some puppies because I've found a really nice woman. I've called some of the listings in our local paper, but I feel like I know more than some of the breeders I've called (and since I've only seriously researched the breed for about a year, that is not a good thing!!) I'm not sure what you have already, but I've found that you need to actually add between $50-$100 onto the price of the dog for puppy supplies like food, dishes, chew toys, crate, etc. Good luck with your search, and be persistent. Your hard work will pay off soon! |
You live near me Hi! You live within driving distance of me. So I would feel bad if I didn't recomend the breeder that I got Syd from. She was $850...if you want a male they are $50-$100 cheaper. She is AKC and she has a beautiful face. She came to me 100% healthy...no worms, fleas, or problems of any kind. This breeder has 2 breeding mothers who are sisters. The other one is in heat now and being bred. The breeder is a friend of the family and I know she takes VERY good care of her mothers and the puppies. Let me know if you are interested. |
Maybe you can try finding a breeder you feel comfortable with and put a deposit on a future litter this way it give you time to save a lil bit more. Thats what i did. im picking up my lil girl on the 28th just in time for my birthday. I to had a hard time finding one in a price range I felt comfortable with. I also had to consider all the supplies I needed to have on hand as well. So it worked out well cause now i have all the essentials ready and was able to buy it all a bit at a time as to not have to buy all at once. just an idea hope I was able to help a bit. :cool: sue |
Also, if you talk to a breeder and they really like you and how you act with the puppies, they might knock down the price a bit. Tristan's breeder knocked $200 off the price than they told us over the phone when they realized that we're a good dog family (we trained guide dogs, researched the health risks and sizes of Yorkies, did some temperament tests on the puppies, etc) |
