| I think her price is fine. She may not be within the standard but she's a beauty. Just make sure she is HEALTHY and that she's up to date on her shots. Is she spayed?

| Roxie I know she is big, I don't think $600 is out of line. At least you know what you are getting...and you will save on shots etc...many Humane societies only cahrge $5 to spay..that is the way it is here in south Florida... Good Luck |

| Okay, look at it this way. She is big and probably not the best quality, but you know what you are getting, you are getting her for children and I think a bigger yorkie for children is the way to go. If you decide not to get her, I would look for one that will be at least 6 to 7 lbs maybe even bigger. Children don't always know how to handle the tiny ones. Good Luck!

| I have a female that is 10 to 11 pounds and she is a great size to play with my grand children. I also have a 4 pound female and I have to be more cautious with her and children. Most young yorkies are wigglers and the small ones can be out of a childs arms in a flash, and they all want to pick them up and hold them. For children I would recommend a larger one. She looks like a sweet and pretty gal and if she is up to date on her shots and healthy, the price is not bad at all. I gave $600 for my larger one as a puppy and $700 for my smaller one. When you buy a puppy it is a gamble and you never know how big they will be or how they will turn out. Atleast you have a little to go on here. They all grow at different rates, my bigger girl grew until she was well over a year. The smaller one stopped at 6 months. All are different but they are all the same in that they are smart and loving dogs. Best of luck, I hope she is the one for you family. Telea, Zoe' and Mia |

| This is the same breeder that I got Zoie from. I've seen this dog. Honestly, they don't seem that big. And I know for a fact that she did pay $2,000 for her. She was hoping to breed her, but she just grew and grew. The breeder is great, she really cares about the kind of home the dog goes to as opposed to the Money I say, if they fall in love with her, get her P.S., tell your daughter that she will be bombarded by lots of doggies, she has a lot of cute doggies. Especially Precious.. her little 2 lber that was suppose to be bigger, but some how stopped growing.. she is precious!!! |

| $600? Not that bad I guess. I do think she's absolutely adorable. If you feel comfortable spending that much, go for it... it's your call to make. At least you won't have to deal with the potty training!

| Great points! Plus, like many other people said, she'll probably be better with kids than a smaller or younger one.

| I paid $400 for my first yorkie male, he ended up being 9 lbs and in CA yorkies are VERY expensive (1500+ for toy sized) so your price seems high. |
