Chewbacca was $600 with papers. He was a steal at that price. The next highest I could find was $1000 in this area.

i live in mississippi and yorkies are usually $400 for males and $450 for females. that's pretty much standard.

Many charge pick of the litter, which is the price of a puppy. Others claim that is way too much.

They are just different registries. If you don't plan to show or breed, the registration papers don't mean much. many people don't even bother sending them in.

tpaxton23, I am posting a pic or 2 for you to see. I cannot get a good pic of her standing. She is 8mths old and has very little hair on her head. Her coat is coming in nicely but I am still concerned about her short head hair. After looking at eveyones babies, at 8mths she should have alot more hair. Thanks for the reply and by the way dylan is a sweetie!!!!!!!!!

Im not going to list what I paid for my dogs, don't want anyone to choke, lol ..but I will say the LEAST I paid for Yorkie, my first..was $600. He ended up oversized, huge dumbo ears, long muzzle, roach backed, hated kids and other dogs, AND had a life threatening heart conditon which required surgery. SO in that case, I very much got what I paid for, but was too "un-informed" on the breed to know better at the time...I just wanted a PUPPY!

I will say that when I do on occasion have puppies (which is not often) the prices range from 1000-2000 depending on each dog. All puppies I have produced are either Champion sired, or the males are working towards their championships currently. I only breed for myself (selfish I know..lol) and spare no expense with health and genetic testing on the puppies and their parents, socialization, top of the line foods and supplements, as well as LOVE. They start out from quality parents, and a lot of thought and research goes into planning each litter. It's hard to put a price on that.

I wish all breeders were like you. The breeders that pay no mind to genetics and breeding out errors are the ones responsible for making yorkies that don't look like they are supposed to. Even though every dog is precious, it is important to keep a yorkie a yorkie. That is what breed standards are for. It took me a long time to learn that buying a dog requires some self-education.

I couldn't agree more! I have heard so many say that breed standards are only for show dogs...they can breed what they want. Unfortunately, if that were the case it wouldn't take long for a yorkie to be unreccognizable as a Yorkie.

My father went with me to a show once, and we were discussing breeding as we were walking in. He asked me why I wasn't just happy to show the dogs, and not breed anything ever. As he asked that question, we passed a "Yorkie" walking the other direction. I pointed to the dog and quietly asked him what breed he thought that dog was. He answered a WESTIE..LOL I turned to him and said THAT is why. When yorkies start looking like Westies, there's a problem!
