| It really depends on what part of the country you are in-some places like California are expensive (isn't everything there!). I would say anywhere from $800-1200, which if she has champion lines or show dog it could be more.

| That is very subjective depending on what "the qualities you want" are and your location. Prices vary geographically quite a bit, but you should always look for an ethical breeder with a health guarantee against genetic defects (1 yr is standard). www.dog-play.com/ethics.html is a good reference site for reputable breeder qualities and what to look for.

| hmm, I would also say that depends on what "quality" you are looking for, but I would do a little research on the person that you are planning on buying from.. Ask them for references, etc. They should be able to provide them. If a puppy is priced really cheap, then there is something wrong somewhere. Good luck!!!

| Brittany, My advice is buy from the most reputable conformation (sp?)breeder that you can afford. Think about all the years (Lord Willing) that your baby will be a part of your life. My two Yorkie girls are priceless to me, and I am so grateful to their breeders. Sheila |
