Yorkie Price Another question for you guys...........I am about to leave work to go look at the maybe new yorkie. I live here in NC......what is a decent price to pay..........my other yorkie was given to us.......yeah I know lucky us:) |
mine were $500 each but it's depends widely on where you live their lineage bloodline and size so on |
Probably an average is anywhere from 800 to 1200. |
the nice dogs the nice dogs around here sell for anywhere from 1200-1500. there are cheaper ones in the 600 range but around here, I have seen a difference in the dogs. not saying it is like that everywhere. I started to pay 500 for one before I found ceeby and now that I have him and the others, looking back, they didn't even look much like yorkies. least not like my bunch does. |
I believe that if you buy a dog from a champion bloodline then it may cost you around 2500.00 I do not think responsible breeders can afford to sell their Yorkies for less than $1500.00 (Just my thought) I have been told that it is very expensive to maintain a litter (vet,vacc. health, right nutrition etc..) Besides it is always better to buy a puppy from a champion line. Show breeders work to produce animals closer to the standard of the breed (health, personality and beauty). Anyway, my two cents! :) |

Myrtle Beach, SC Hey, Aloha.......I am in Myrtle Beach, SC and I've seen them between $650.00 and $1,200.00, advertised in the Local Newspaper but they were CKC. Registered, NOT AKC. They had NO Champions in their Bloodline either!In fact, I just had a Litter a couple of weeks ago, with 2 females @ $2,200.00 a piece and 1 male @ $2,000.00. My abigail (the Mother) has 14 Champions in her Pedigree alone (3 generations). They are "Breeding Quality", but I guess it just depends on what you are looking for? Since I've Bred mine and I have both Parents I know exactly what they will look like and I know what to expect from them. I am usually a little flexible on the price depending on the Person and their circumstances? Family members & Friends etc. Good Luck in your Search!:aimeeyork |
Around here the better quality ones run $1200 to $1500 but you can get one as low as $600. |
Yes, around here I paid $1200 for Louie and $1500 for Bella. They are worth every penny! :p |

The problem is, people tend to think that just because they pay more, they are getting a better quality dog. If you are just interested in a pet then why pay that much. Also Champion lines are not necessarily healthier. Some breeders do a lot of close breeding and can end up with a lot of problems. I'd suggest just buy from a quality breeder and you will get a better dog. It is more important to research the breeder than the dog. Just because they have champions does not mean they are ethical. |
I agree w/both of you I totally agree......you have to decide exactly what your looking for a "Pet" or "Breeeding Quality", even though a Dog has Champion Bloodlines/Pedigree you still have to look for the right features; health, temperment, personality, looks, hair quality etc. Puppies are deceiving thay are all cute & adorable especially Yorkie's! Unfortunetly alot of people get "Pet Quality" and decide to Breed once for the "Experience" or for the Family & Friends? My Neighbor brags to me how she bought 2 females for $550.00 a piece in Kentucky, but they have crooked teeth and crooked/sway backs they only weigh 3 lbs. (sisters) floppy lop sided ears that she complains about (not me!) In most cases you get what you pay for? I think it's very important to do your own "Reasearch" to determine your Preferences in the Breed? For some even their Coloring is a factor? We all have our likes and dis-likes but you should be aware of what they are? My Pet Peeve is the "Teacup" term, Breeders get more money just based on their size not their Quality! |

4 Attachment(s) Around my area you see them as low as 600 to 2000. I have 3. 2 girls and a boy. Our Boy, Rascal was $600 he will be around 4 maybe 5 pounds. Peaches is 9 mths and we paid $1,200 for her and she is close to 3 pds Baby, she is 4 mths and weighs just about 2 pounds and she was $750 Rascal is AKC, Peaches CKC, Baby AKC But the point is you see all the differen prices and they are all beautiful... Nice coats, Teath are line perfectly, ears are great .. Not that it matters as much to me... I love them ... they are our babies Peaches and Baby in the first pic.. Rascal in the next pic His ears now both stand up... :) All three of them together.. Then Peaches by herself I think with what we paid.. that they are Poor quality.. and we paid more for Peaches but she is no more quality.. I think |
