| Out of place. I really feel out of place with all you guys!! I see the prices some of you gave for your babies, and I only gave $500.00 for Sher-ra. I want to buy a male, but all the ones around here aren't what I am looking for. I was going to ask you guys where I could get one, but I'm in Missouri and I can't afford alot. Any help would be good!!!

| Thank you!!! I just feel, belittled, I mean why are some so much more expensive than others. I have She-ra's pedigree and both her grandparents on her mama's side are champions. What are the differences in prices?

| I almost paid over 1500.00 for mine but found a breeder much closer to home and I am only paying 800.00. It's great because that leaves me some money to save so I can buy another one next year . lol. Dont feel out of place or belittled I just think it depends on pet,show and where you live. |

| You should feel lucky that you got your baby for a reasonable price and she is healthy and happy. There is a high demand for the breed right now and, like Summer said, in California it's expensive because their are people here who will pay top dollar for the "best" dog, whatever that is. Don't feel badly about your good luck! Celebrate it! |

| Yes I suppose you are right. She is happy healthy and you couldn't ask for a mor obedient dog.. It's like we are on the same level at times!! She is not extremely hyper, and awesome with my girls!!! But don't leave the doors unlocked cause she'll help them out the door with everything!!!

| PLEASE Don't feel out of Place! Price means nothing, my Husband paid $2,950.00 plus $250.00 for shipping from Florida to Boston for my male, he has an incredible Pedigree. But I found my female from a local Breeder for only a $1,000.00 and she also has an incredible Pedigree. But that's what I was looking for! Since we are now in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina the economy is much different and the the cost of living is much lower. Don't feel bad think of how Lucky you are. This Breed is such high demand, you just have to get used to the price shock? Compared to other Breeds anyway? This Breed is not for everyone, it takes a special kind of person to deal with and appreciate them! There is no difference in my dogs based on the price, but there is based on their personalities, each one is a human reincarnated in a small dogs body? It just depends on where you live, or actually where the Breeder lives? One in New York or New Jersey, is going to charge more than one in the South! Good Luck in your Search.....Just be specific in what you want and what your looking for? |

| I only paid $600 for Chachi. The price you pay for your beloved dog is of no importance. Artie- You are so right. They are like a reincarnated human! They are really a special breed of dog.

| don't feel out of place! =) sweetie no need to feel out of place! at first this is how i felt when i heard that people were buying their pups for 1500. something i didn't have! but i found out a lot of people here in Southern Cali around my area only charge that much because Yorkies are "in" now .. (to me they've always been "in") .. but i only paid 300 for Oreo, but he's a mix. and i borrowed a grand from my parents that i'm still paying back for Ginger but they both make me so happy. i'm glad i payed whatever i did for them. i wouldn't change themf or the world!.. i'd maybe add another one to my fam bam.. but maybe later |

| No reason to feel out of place. Everyone has a different lifestyle and budget. Some of us had to save for awhile to get our Yorkies, some are fortunate enough for finances not to be a problem. You're among friends - we all LOVE Yorkies - whether we have one, are waiting for one, or just admire them

| Don't worry about having to spend alot of money for your baby. Depending on location and what you plan on doing with the dog you can find yorkies or cheap. I got Zoey with papers from show parents for 350.00, I had to sign a paper saying that I would have her fixed but I would have done that anyways because I don't plan on raising them...So just look around.
