Most people are budgeted to what they can or want to spend on a Yorkie and I think if you are patient the right Yorkie at the right price will come around. Just because a Yorkie is reasonable does not mean it came from a bad place. Remember, people pay big bucks for Yorkies being bought through pet stores. Does this mean that they came from a good place? Answer, no. We all know that these dogs come from Puppymills. My advice, check out places and find a reputable breeder you are comfortable with and wait until he or she has a Yorkie in your price range. I haven't seen many Yorkies, let alone tiny Yories for $500 but I have seen very nice Yorkies that are of pet quality for this price. Most Yorkies that I've seen up for sale on YT range from $900 - $1200, but I have seen some for $500 too.

And also, just because you want to spend a little less on the actual dog it doesn't mean you won't have enough money to spend on the vet bills etc.

Hi Kelly!
I am new to this site too! Just came across it today. I currently have 5 pups that were born on March 25, so they are six weeks old today. (3 baby girls 2 baby boys!) I live in Las Vegas, so I am not that far from you in SoCal. If you are interested I will sell one of the boys for $1100 or a girl for $1300. They are UKC registered, and come from 2 healthy, loving, and beautiful parents. I am not necessarily a breeder, though this is the 4th litter that we have had. I'd be happy to supply you with references and pictures of the pups upon your request. It sounds like weight and size is an issue for you. The father is approximately 4-5 lbs and mom is 6-7 lbs. I cannot guarantee you that the average weight of the pups will be under 5-6 lbs. but I can tell you that a few of them are smaller than the others. I look forward to hearing from you!

What exactly is the definition of a backyard breeder? (from the tone of your comment it sounds like a bad thing) How do you know this person is one?

I don't believe a person who breeds their two loving pets could begin to be called a Back Yard Breeder. I know everyone has their opinions. My def is one who put's up many kennels in their yard. Or has up to 6 dogs in their home that breed them just for the money.

WOW!! That's harsh.

cherylg845 · 05-08-2008, 11:12 PM

Wow Fancy! I really appreciate the comment. Believe it or not I couldn't stop thinking about the arrogant words that were posted and directed toward me. This is my girls 4th litter. The amount of money that I was asking for the pups is exactly what I paid for mine! So, I didn't think I was out of line. The reason I don't say I am necessarily a "BREEDER" is because that was not my intent with my babies...but after the first litter, I enjoyed them so much that I decided not to fix him just yet. My babies are VERY WELL cared for and couldn't be loved any more than they are. The pups are loved and cared for equally. If that is the definition of a "BACKYARD BREEDER" than I guess I am guilty! I was not going to return to this website, but considering that everyone is not so cocky and opinionated about matters they are not educated about, I will enjoy the friendships that I make here. Thanks for your comment!

But I wouldn't want it any other way! Archie can run, jump and play without ever getting tired. He can keep up with us and he is super healthy! We are super lucky to have him in our life!

GL finding your baby! Oh and just my POV - I think 5lbs is great for cuddling and can still fit in your bag. I think Debbie from amazing yorkies have some males available for the price your looking for.

Just had to comment: I sold a

baby that weighed 2 lbs 11 oz, at 6 months. She was never un healthy a day in her life, There was no where she couldn't go, and nothing she couldn't do!! She jumped up on the love seat and over the back to me at the computer!!. There was no slowing her down.

She now rules the home where she lives and the Rottie in the home too!!!

That's cool your very fortunate and blessed to have a very tiny healthy girl. I've heard many stressful horror stories involving tinies.

That's exactly why you have to be careful who you buy your darling baby from. To be sure that they have had the appropriate food and care, and been hand raised. It's because of the constant care, best food and supervision that the prices may seem higher or too high.

Yes, there's some arrogance here but not everyone. I couldn't believe the comment myself

I see the person who made the comment hasn't answered my question yet. It amazes me how some people find it so easy to attack and judge others. Welcome to YT and please know that not everyone here is like that
