I think it's the ears that throw people off but I absolutely love his floppy ears!! Its funny he kinda reminds me of the Bernstein Bears. :p Of course through all of this we learned a vaulable lesson, and as we always say hindsight is 20/20. |
I bought my Snoodles for $800. She was chipped, shots, vet approved etc. I was looking for a Yorkie, and had found two that were pregnant and they wanted $350. But, my daughter was on a trip up to Polson, Mt.(I live in Butte, Mt.) and found her and kept calling me and e-mailing me pictures from the woman's house and I said no way, That is way too much. But, she kept insisting and calling me, and finally I said, Oh okay go ahead and get it. I haven't been sorry one bit. My nephew bought one in Billings, Mt. for $350. also. Guess it's whatever they can get for them. Pat |
Gosh! I guess a trip in our motorhome to Butte, Mt is in order when we want 2 MORE, MORE, MORE, YORKIES ! :D |
geez, $350 is beyond CHEAP!!!!!!!!!, I e-mailed some breeders in my area and asked if they had any for $500-$600 and i got laughed at :mad: AND ON TOP OF THAT, i did find puppies for $600 and i called on them, the guy that answered didnt even speak english very well! and when i asked about a health guarantee he said "whats that?" :eek: I think im going to wait until after christmas, because i know breeders lower their prices for the puppies that did not sell for christmas. |

Thanks for the warning mmyorkies.... i assumed it was common practice to hike prices for the holidays, because it is so common here (everyone does it)... but hey, thats why im learning all i can BEFORE im ready to get one :D But, like ive said before... a friend fo mine REALLY knows the breed and he is going to take a look at any dog im interested in AND he knows all the questions to ask the breeder to find out if the breeder is shady or not, so we shall see... i like to do my research THOUROUGHLY before i commit to anything, so i will probably be on the hunt for a while (maybe as much as a year) before i get my yorkie baby |
I have a Yorkie Weight chart that is pretty close. according to it your yorkie should get around 3 1/.2 to 4 lbs. My Bobo is a year old Oct 7th and weighs 3 1/2 lbs. Missy is 7 years old and weighs 5 1/2 lbs. I paided 685 for BoBo and 450 for missy. I to raise AKC pups and sell them for 700-800 small ones 4 lbs and under and 500-600 over that. |
We got Archie at 5 mos. old for about $850. I got all his papers, and vaccines, and everything, including 5 years of checkups. But Archie was on "sale." I was told that if I had gotten him when he was younger, and smaller, he would have been almost $2,500. He's actually 9lbs now at 7 months. I live in NYC...you'd be surprised what people spend on their dogs in this neighborhood! |

Do you have a link to your weight chart or could you email/post it? I've searched all over for one, out of curiosity, and can't find any. thanks |
Yes! I would like to print out the weight chart too! Can't seem to find one on the web. I read somewhere where you take their weight at 16 weeks, double it and add 1/2 pound and that is what your Yorkied should weigh. Would sure love the weight chart, though! Pat |
OMG< !! i just got off the phone with a breeder in my area, and when i was reluctant to consider paying her outragous price for a yorkie ($1900) she actually told me "well goodluck, if you want a QUALITY yorkie you need to fork over the bucks!" :mad: How ridiculous is that? I even asked her questions about her dogs, she doesn't do a bile test to make sure her puppies dont have liver shunt, and she didnt even offer a health gurantee!!!! I was seriously insulted!!! OK, im calm......... i just needed to vent my frustrations.... |
That's outrageous! You can find them cheaper than that by a long shot. And quality too. Mine is just 3 # and she cost 800. which was very high for this part of the country. She also gave me a year guarantee, chipped her, and shots. Keep Lookiing! Pat |
