dont be scared to rescue. i rescued baxxxter and he's THE BEST dog i could have asked for. no probs whatsoever. it just depends on the dog you rescue. dont be afraid to be picky. and dont be rushed! and have money saved for vet bills and such.

Don't move to California. I talked to a breeder who asked for $3000 for a puppy that had features I liked very much. Most are at least $1500, and they come from questionable BYBs. I've even heard of some selling for $4000 and much higher. I ended up going out of state (and out of the country) for my puppy. In any case, I don't think $1000-$2000 is a lot to pay for a dog if you're getting it from a reputable breeder. There are a lot of costs involved in breeding so I don't mind paying that much, knowing that my puppy will be happy and healthy.

I hope you are able to find your puppy. We got a one year health guarantee with Baby Blessing but if something came up before the year is up would we give her back for another, no way, we have become so attatched to her and would do what ever needed to be done to take care of her. We are looking to get another little girl play mate for Baby Blessing and like you are doing, hoping we will be lucky enough to find one that is healthy and reasonabley priced. If I hear of one I will let you know. Are you wanting to get a m/f ? Good luck.

I hate to vent, but I just had to let this out.

I feel your pain! You should have a Secret Box...just for your Yorkie Fund. Why don't you try getting a part time job just for the yorkie...all that money would go toward his purchase and some back-up for vet care and emergency. There are some affordable pups out there, just make sure its from a nice Breeder and that the pup is healthy....

P.S. You should try contacting Yorkie Rescue groups..

That is a average price around here..I am buyin another one from the same breeder that I bought Sadie from...she has 2 females bred ..they will be born around the end of August the beginning of Sept..And,,,I agree..males are cheaper..She sells her females for 1500.00. She also breeds Rotties. I know she flies them out but not sure on the yorkies...let me know if you are interested and I can give you her name.

I know the feeling, I looked for almost 2 years, cause there was no way I was paying 1,000 or up, I looked in the paper, online, the pound, rescues, petfinder.. and one day on a local online ad thing, there they were, a normal family had a male and female and had one litter,and wasnt about making money only finding good homes.. I wanted a female, but when I called all they had was 2 males, so I said I'd come look at them,, ya see how that turned out, of course I went to the bank first,, to look... lol
Bailey was 375.00 the female were 400.00 It can happen, I know.
Good Luck,and don't give up, everytime you see Yorkie,ask where they got them, I did that too, and still do.

There ya go....just keep saving and looking. And has anyone just gone to look and NOT brought a puppy home? At our house, hubby knows...looking really means buying.

Yeah, they are only around $400 to $700 here in Misssouri. I gave $500 for She-Ra and $350 for Harley. She was 5 lbs and he is around 6.

that definately makes sense.

I'm looking for a female which makes it that much harder.

Thank you so much all of you! It's good to know that there are people out there that know how I feel!

good luck, i hope you get a baby!!!!

DO NOT buy from Jeff Dane. You would be asking for trouble, not to mention a sick/dying puppy

[txshopper73]

Hang in there! The perfect pup is out there for you. Just don't lose hope...

[TootiesMom]

you should do a search on YT for JEff Danes. I saw a post and got curious, there are some SERIOUS problems there, from what I see

[Tophersmom]

Grab an old jar and start saving some money...a little at a time and it won't be long before you have enough for a yorkie!. There are some great deals out there, but please be patient and get what you want because you will have this little one in your life for a long long time.
I totally understand about wanting to raise a pup. I rescued every dog I've ever owned and this time I wanted to do something different and go through a breeder. I did get Topher for a cheaper price as he was going to be larger than the yorkie standard. He's 10lbs and I love every inch of him. Now we're on the lookout for a little gal playmate. I know it's probably going to be a couple of years before I find the one I want.

I wish you all the best. Please don't necessarily buy one that's cheaper...make sure you get what you want!!

[I love Lucy]

I felt the same way right before tax refund time. Here I was so happy about getting a couple thou back and thinking we were going to save it for something special then my hubby had a car accident...totaled my car..he was fine thank god but it just goes to say sometimes you can't get ahead..and that money just comes then goes.
What are your specifics for a female? SOmetimes the unregistered ones seem less in CA. I am about 2 hrs south of you. There are some out here but I guess it would depend on what you want to spend and your expectation. Oh out of curiousity I called this highly recommended breeder here in CA and she had a female pup coming up for $5000!! AHHH!!
