| If you're looking for a good breeder, I would recommend Mensonides Kennels just south of Yakima. Mensonides Kennels Quality AKC Yorkies in Washington We got our little boy from them a few months ago. He's just wonderful with a great disposition/temperment and no health problems. He's 6 months old now. |

| If you're looking for a good breeder, I would recommend Mensonides Kennels just outside of Yakima. We got our little yorkie in April from them. Our little guy was about 1.5 pounds when we got him and is now just a hair over 3 pounds at 6 months and hasn't been sick a day in his life. He's very happy, loving, playful and healthy -and a good eater. And she's been more than available for any questions, etc we've had with him since adopting.

| I've seen their website...let me go look again. Are you looking for a puppy? I know someone closer who has three adorable baby boys that will be ready in a couple of weeks. they are almost 9 weeks old now. She's in Roy. Good friend of mine and I got to help deliver these adorable boys. I attached a pic of one of them. |

| I went to the website...it looks like she's a pretty good breeder to me! I'm gonna have to bookmark her for future reference. She sounds pretty responsible. Does she have a good contract? good luck! |

| that is really high for our area. Are you looking for a show dog though? If you are looking for a really cute pet, I think that's pretty high. I paid $1400 for my first one, $1000 for my second girl, and $1200 for my newest girl. Esp. since right now prices are down. My friend charges between $700-800 right now. At one time I paid $2k for a boy that should have been a perfect stud...got him from a show breeder. But he ended up being defective (poor guy...he was a great pet) and i couldn't use him for a stud so I had to rehome him. I paid way too much in my opinion.. and that was before the economy crashed. But that's my opinion. If you are willing to pay that much I guess it's okay. She does have nice looking dogs though. Make sure you are able to check out the temperament of both parents. It really does matter. Good luck! deb |

| That does seem a bit high. We got our little boy in April for $750. And he's very healthy. |
