| Teddy was five months when we got him and the breeder was selling him for $700.She says that his brother and sister were $1000 cuz she sold them at 3 months. When we got to her house she let us take him for $500. Well lets just say you get what you pay for. Teddy is the best puppy which really is all that matters but the lady promised me his papers and that he was AKC registered and that he had all his shots. Well she disappeared for about 5 days before she answered the phoen again, next thing I know she tells me he came from Brazil. And then to make everything worse she did send me a little pamphlet showing his "shots" and thats when I realized his birthday was wrong, and it said he was from Uruguay and not from Brazil. So she lied to me the whole way through and I was already in love with him so I didnt want to give him up. My vet gave him all his shots all over again in case the paperwork was false which it probably was. I was really clueless about yorkies att the time but next time i know what NOT to look for!

| I paid $1800 for Sadie. Most of the breeders I contacted were selling between 1500 and 2000. I was broke after, since I had to pay for her on my own, but definetly worth it!

| At $2500. some people may think I got ripped off but I think Shelby is well worth it. She is a small, silky haired, healthy and pretty female from Southern Calif. Same price or less than the others I looked at. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | guess I got the best deal of all. Kaytlyn was free. A friend of mine was moving and couldnt take her or her mother with her. So I took them. I have papers and all. When I got them I had no clue about yorkies. (thank God for yt) Anyway as most of you know I lost Maddie a few months ago which was Kaytlyns mom. But I will tell you, if I had to do over again, I would have paid a million dollars for her (if I had it). She is the best baby ever.

| My parents bought our first yorkie Lacey at a pet store before any of us knew anything about puppy mills. They paid $400 for her in 1992. We were fortunate with Lacey. No health problems until she went into kidney failure at age 13. She was beautiful, sweet, and smart as could be. We just put deposit on another yorkie female puppy about a week and half ago. Our final price is $950. We will pay the other half when she is old enough to go home. Her name will be Chloe Cheyenne. The breeder lives only 10 minutes away, but only got to see the puppies once. I guess she is really busy because everytime we call there is no answer. And so far she has not returned our calls. I can't wait until I can finally see her again and really can't wait until she is old enough for me to take home.

| Brandy is AKC reg and was only $500. But the breeder was horrible as some of you remember from the Illinois Rescue thread. I really believe you get what you pay for. Many people who are paying more from a GOOD breeder are paying for the tests and the GUARANTEE. Brandy didn't have any guarantee so if something comes up I'm screwed. I have no idea what her background is like which is kind of scary. The reason I got Brandy was to rescue her from the bad place she was. They were giving her away at only 5 weeks and she had never been to a vet, of course she hadn't been wormed or no shots. The lady didn't care about who her dogs went to, only the $$. Thank god eesnor went over there and saved the rest, kept them together and gave them vet care. Bottom line, if there is a guarantee, that's worth the extra money in my eyes. |

| I paid $850 for my Yorkie at a family-owned pet/grooming store. I got papers with him and was able to contact the breeder and have been corresponding with her regularly. My Yorkie will definitely not be "tiny." His mother weighed 12 pounds and on a good day, his father weighed 4 1/2 pounds. My pup is 5 months old - and weighs 5 1/4 pounds.....but definitely has more growing ahead of him. He is absolutely beautiful, affectionate, loving, playful and very very healthy. Out only vet bills have been for "puppy shots." He has a wonderful affectionate, laid back personality like his mother and is becoming a beautful silver Yorkie like his father. He has a lovely silky coat, which I thank God for - because he doesn't like being combed or brushed ---but in all honestly - he is really getting better in this department. Carol Jean |

THAT IS SO TRUE. I don't disclose the price that I paid for my yorkies because there really is no price tag for the love they've brought me as far as i'm concerned. I've paid a pretty penny for some of mine. I try to be fair and offer my babies at a price that is relevant to the care and love they have received in my home. I once saw a yorkie for 400 dollars that in my opinion was top of the line. But on the contrar he was being offered by a breeder who was getting out of the business. I think the price tag should have alot of bearing on the breeder as WELL as the puppy. JMHO. So many breeders are offering tiny puppies for 2000 and up. I don't go for that, nor do I think it's fair. You will get what you pay for as far as the breeder, the parents they chose to mate and the overall care and guarantee that comes with any paticular puppy. Most GOOD breeders cannot possibly sell their precious babes for under a thousand and still be able to continue with a healthy breed program. Some may be able to...but it's not realistic if you're looking for healthy yorkies from a breeder who has not only put her puppies number one, but her parents and grandparents of the babies as well!
