How much do these breeders generally charge for their yorkies? How much was Marcel? (If you don't mind me asking). By the way his face is so precious!! I love his colors. He is such a handsome little boy!

$1500 - $2000 is pretty average for a well-bred pet yorkie. But you may find some for as low as $1000 or up to about $2500...just depends on the breeder.

I think you would find $1000 to $1500 to be pretty average for a pet quality pup from a good show/breeder. I suppose it could vary in some areas but not by a lot. When you start getting up in the $2000 and above range you are talking breeder quality and a reputable breeder is not going to sell breeder quality to someone who just wants a pet and a pet owner should not pay that much either. A good breeder is more interested in finding the right homes for the pups than a big sale price but they do have a lot of expense to try to recoup with the puppies.

People who put bigger price tags than that on a pet quality pup are ripping people off. If you look at a show dog they are everything and more than what the puppy mill ads promise but do not deliver.
