| Going to Pick out a Yorktese Puppy on Thursday. They are asking $650, is this a lot or normal for a Yorkie/Maltese mix? They have 2 tri-color and 2 blond/red ones. Does anyone else have a Yorktese, can you post pics of them?? |

| I'm no expert on the subject, but it sounds like waaay too much for a mixed breed to me! Perhaps others will have more insight. I must say it sounds like a really cute combination. Are you getting a male or female? |

| I have seen those pups go from 500-1000. I have a yorkie/maltese mix. Ours was an accident. We have a yorkie and a maltese. They got together before we could have our little boy maltese fixed. I have a picture of Tanner. He is adorable. If i can figure out how to post a pic. I will be happy to. |

| There are a couple people here who have a yorktese. They are cute. There is some pics on maltesetalk.com of two. Take a look around there if you like. There is so much debate of what the price should be about mixed puppies. I would just say if it's what you want and it's worth it to you, go for it. Good luck and congratulations! |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | That does seem like a lot...but I guess it depends on which part of the country you are in. I checked the Houston Chronicle last night and if I'm not mistaken, they had AKC yorkies for $600

| StaciSynder04 has a yorktese. He's so freakin cute! But I'm pretty sure she paid alot less than that for hers. I might look around a little more before I paid that much for one, unless you just absolutely fall in love! Which is very likely!

| Wow~Sounds like alot to me, but it is what you are willing to pay. I didn't pay that for My pure-bred Yorkie.

| Yorkies in Canada go for about 1500 - 2100 dollars from a breeder! Don't know about the mix. The pictures are different than i thought...i expected a lighter yorkie than an all dark yorkie...genetics are so weird. |

| around here in northern california mixes like that will run about $500-$1200. like any other puppy, it depends on who you get it from. reputable breeders who certify that they have two healthy purebred parents (a puppy from a purebred maltese and a purebred yorkie, as opposed to an ignorant breeder who bred two morkie/yorktese as if they were a breed of their own), and ran what health tests they could on the mix puppy to ensure a healthy puppy free of genetic defects, will charge more than a breeder who does just the minimum like whelp the pups and that's it. but in general, small breed dogs costs a premium around here. a purebred yorkie will run about $1200-$2500, so i personally don't think $650 for a yorktese is outrageous or high. but then again, i think $500k for a 750 sq ft one bedroom condo is a bargain around my area 'cause the going rate for that in my building is about $550-$600k depending on the view and the condition of the unit. i'm sure most ofyou will find that price outrageously high for a mere one bedroom condo, but that's just the cost of living out here. but if i could afford another furbaby, i'd love to have a yorktese as a companion to my bunjee! |
