How much did you pay for your yorkie? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

KFG · 05-23-2006, 01:20 PM

I am new to the group - hoping to get my first Yorkie in a couple of weeks! I was wondering if someone could tell me what it means to be AKC registered. I know that stands for American Kennel Club but don't know what the benefits of that are.
Thanks!

Tucker<-- $400 from a BYB. He has a liver shunt, but he is worth everything, I love him like a child.

Tripp<-- $150 from a Yorkie Rescue Group. He is my sweetheart. and I am thrilled we could give him a place to call home-where he is very loved.

Malibu was FREE...he is the product of my in-laws yorkie and a friend of theirs yorkie. He is registered. It is nice that he was free to us but he would have been worth the $1,000 they were asking everyone else.

Jersey (female Yorkie) AKC $500 or $550 shes one year old now and weighs 3 pounds and has never been sick a day in her life so I don't agree with "you get what you pay for".

Simon (male Yorkie) CKC $400 came from same breeder as Jersey, he's a gorgeous little boy.

and my non-Yorkies

Tank (English Mastiff) AKC $800 got him when he was 16 weeks old
Journey (English Mastiff) AKC $450 she came to us at 9 months old
Piper (English Mastiff) AKC $1275 born on Mother's Day '06 coming home in July

Katy was $500, she is AKC.

Lissy · 05-23-2006, 03:09 PM

I'm paying $1200 + shipping for my still-nameless little girl. I already know that she'll be worth absolutely every penny.

Keeley was $900 and is AKC registered.

We got him in Michigan when we lived there last summer.

Hannah was $300 and is AKC. Although this was almost 8 years ago, and prices have definately gone up. I got her from a lady close by who only had a couple litters a year. She owns both parents and Hannah is healthy as could be.

Preston was $3500 with papers... Worth every penny

I do believe you have the won the prize......do you show????

Adryana · 05-23-2006, 03:38 PM

no... he's only 7 months. we've talked about it... he has champion blood lines. people have told me he's the prettiest yorkie they've ever seen! he really is beautiful, healthy, and smart. I think price can also vary based on where you live...

What's the difference between AKC, ACA, and CKC?

I paid $400.00 for my lil Louie Vuitton. He was 9 weeks almost 10 weeks old and the breeder just wanted to find him a permanent home. So he was a steal.

meeshue · 05-23-2006, 03:51 PM

Why can't I find a good deal like that. I have been looking to add another furbaby to my family and the best I can do is 1000-1200. can I please have the names of the breeders that sell them for such a fair price? Thanks meeshue

How much of a stud fee can yorkies usually get? We just want to breed him to get another yorkie, but I am just curious to know what the going rate is...
