| Amen, YorkieRose! What makes that lady think she can charge 5 grand?!! Listen — no matter what puppy you bring home, when you get him/her into YOUR arms in YOUR home, he/she WILL BE the "puppy of your dreams". We paid nearly TEN TIMES LESS than that for our puppy.....and the's the best puppy we could ever have imagined. There is no even $1,000 puppy that is better than our Sully. We love him to pieces...and you'll love yours just the same. Go on a vacation to Europe with your $5,000 - but please, don't pay that much for a puppy. (That breeder has some nerve!)

| Definitly mouth dropping, eyes bugging, tongue hanging,to much. No one here is telling you what to do, but it looks like a unanimous opinionof keep looking. That is an extremely tiny puppy, sure they are cute, but they are also high maintanence. My husbands grandmother has two teeny tinies they are 7 mths old and one weighs 1lb10oz, and the other is a little over 2 lbs. She didn't pay that much for hers combined. It is easy to fall in love with the little guys, and if you chooce not to get this one you will find another that is perfect for you. Good Luck in your choice.

| I paid 1000 for Ginger, no papers and she's going to be 4-5 lbs as an adult. I wanted a smaller one, but when i saw the "teacups" i said nm.. they are absolutely fragile! |

My Caesar weighed 2.9 lbs at 11 wks. he is now 6 mo old and weighs around 5 lbs. He won't fit in those cute little purses but he is very healthy and all muscle. So he probably would be about 4 lbs if he wasn't so active. He is still small. My Cleo weighs 3.3 lbs. and is 11 wks 2 days today. (I used my candle wax scales to weigh her today so I don't know how accurate they are) If you want one smaller, I got Cleo Tuesday and my breeder had a drop dead georgous little boy that was born 2/10. She will let him go in another 1 to 2 wks. He was a lot smaller than Cleo. If Cleo turns out to be Caesar's size then I guess this one to max out at 4 lbs. His mother weighed 6 and his dad weighed 4. He was quite a bit smaller than her and that is the only reason that I didn't get him. I have a pic if you want to see him. I babysit a neighbor and have a step son, my hubbie is 6'1" about 260 so I wanted a bigger Yorkie Not over 7 lbs but not 3 either. I paid $750 for him and $775 for her. She went up on her prices 2005 so she is asking $800 (m) & $850 (f) now but still that is a good price and her pups are very healthy. anyway this is all my opinion and if you don't have kids and want the smaller one they go for it. I just really think 5k is too much. You could even take a 6 hr + drive somewhere to find one. Where are you? My breeder has drove hours to find champs to buy for breeding maybe she can help you. Good luck and again this is only my opinion. | |

| The average cost, at least in CA is between $1,500 - $2,500. $5,000 seems like a lot to me. I would pass. There are plenty of beautiful yorkie pups out there for less.

| Lexy was $1200 and all our friends thought we were crazy! She will be 3 lbs. or less fully grown I think. She is 1 1/2 pounds now at 14 weeks. Of course if she got to be 50 lbs. I would love her to pieces!!!! $5000 is a total ripoff and I would be skeptical of someone who is in it for the money! |

| Hey. Well, my baby is suppose to be 4-5 pounds and I'm only paying $600 for her. Which is a really good deal. But the lady I'm buying her from isn't a big time breeder. But the puppy is DEFINATLY healthy!

| Way too much. That is not worth it. YOu will find another puppy you love just as much. YOu really have to ask yourself what kind of person would be selling that dog for 5000? That is waaaay too much.

| Have you checked the internet about this breeder, have you spoken to her on more than one occassion...How did you find her.... Make a list of questions to ask her, and see if she will give you any references. If you are a set on this buyer....However, I think you should reseach and read some more..And be patient
