A reasonable price directly from a reputable breeder is $1,500-$2,500. The price range varies depending on sex (males are cheaper) and size (smaller cost more)

This is why people prefer BYB, breeders want to charge an arm and a leg then still charging more for smaller dogs??? It should be the other way around because in the end they require more care.

OK... My daughters looked for a long time for a yorkie. In July they thought they found one, They paid $250.00 for her. she was 7 months old but had no papers. witch I didn't care about I just wanted a yorkie. so they got her for my B'day, Then I got another one from the same breeder Well I took them to the vet last week & vet said Megan (the 1st one) is more of a silky and Phoebe is yorkie. I don't know that much about them except I wanted one. Papers didn't matter.

Well I don't think you should only consider the initial cost of the pup but what it could potentially end up costing. I did not read all the responses to this thread so if I am repeating someone elses sentiments forgive me. But as this poor girl in this thread (http://yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99060) pointed out, it can get very expensive very quickly and if a pet owner is not prepared financially to handle all the little surprises that come along then the poor animal is the one that pays the price.

We got Fee-Fee 6 years ago when we lived in Austin, Texas. There used to be breeders selling puppies on north of 183 close to 620 by Lakeline Mall. My girlfriend and I used to go there every weekend to look at puppies. We rarely saw yorkies there but one Saturday we saw a sign that saids "Yorkie" and we had to check it out. They only had a little boy and we liked him, but somehow we didn't buy him right away. The next morning we told each other if we go there again and he was still there we would buy them. I remember the breeder had him in their minivan with the a/c on coz it was too hot that day, Fee-Fee looked really cute coz they just took a bath for him the night before. So we went to the ATM and withdrew some money and bought him.

I think we only paid $350 for Fee-Fee, he was not AKC registered but was registered at a different club. The breeder said AKC was too expensive, I believe the breeder was more of a mom and pop type operation... We didn't know much about puppies back then, Fee-Fee was the first pet for both of us. Though $350 was a lot of money for us back then, now spending over $1k doesn't seem as much as $350 6 years ago somehow.

It was DEFINITELY the best $350 we've ever spent, poor Fee-Fee, we love him so much, may he RIP...

I paid 400$ for my CoCo, she was already 4 mths old, so I got a deal, also because my stepson's mom, is their neighbor. I think she gave me a good deal because of just having lost my Boston Terrier and I looked all pitiful. But, she is the healthiest, funnest little dog ever! She is totally perfect, plus the breeder gave her all her shots except for Rabies. Best tempermant ever too, not yappy at all. Best puppy I've ever owned. The breeder normally asks 600-800$ per puppy, and I am going to buy another one from her and pay full price if I have to, because her dogs are awesome! I'm letting CoCo grow up some first, potty trained and stuff. Very pleased with my little angel though.

I paid $850 for Riley. That included shipping. His breeder is in OK. All of her prices include shipping. I live in Chicago and most Yorkies are $1200 or more. Im looking for a little girl yorkie, but I havent found any under $1000. Staying under $1000 was my goal, but I've realized that I might have to pay a little more for a female.

Armani was priced at 850$ and I simply couldn pay that much ;( im a college student and so is my boyfriend lol so the breeder gave us $100 off, $750 was a lot of money, but Armani is worth every penny if I had do over and knew what a precious thing he was, i would of paid anything she asked.

Around my area right now, yorkies have really came down in price, The one i just bought for my aunt was only 575.00 for a little girl, akc and a total doll. when i talked with the breeder, she said last yr at this time she was selling her girls for 900.00, but with our economy being so bad right now she has had to lower her prices so i guess it depends on where you live.
