First of all breeder/exhibitors are breeding for themselves for their net champion to add to their breeding program, that one special puppy that has the "it" factor. Unfortunately, we can't keep all the puppies, so they are placed in preapproved homes. The problem is since we only breed for that next Champion we only breed 1 or 2 litters a year and have a waiting list.

Agree 100%. I to am a breeder/exhibitor.Last year I had 3 litters. The pups I could not keep ( can't keep all)started at $800.00, already spayed/neutered with papers & full pedigree. It is more important to me to have my babies in a loving, forever home.

I paid $800 for Izzy....gulp....sorry but that was a lot for me but worth it....I love him to death! It was the lowest price I found in my area and the breeder was wonderful. Every other breeder I contacted was too expensive and I didnt trust them. I felt comfortable that she raised the puppies as her own, had papers and a health guarantee. I still keep in contact with her. I wouldn't go over $1000 and that is pushing it.

Awww...what a great story. He is adorable too!

if i was going to breed yorkies..then i might pay more..but for just a pet i don't see the need to spend that much money when you can get a GREAT pet for under that. Karlee is AKC and she was only $700. i think she's amazing! You can't register Biewers with AKC they do no recognize them. They have their own german registery. You can't really get a "cheap" biewer. not trying to start a war either! just answer your questiosn
