How Much Should a Yorkshire Terrier Cost?

I like small dogs, specifically teacup. I was just wondering where I could get one and how much would one cost. And is it a healthy enough dog to get?

A yorkie will run you anywhere from $750 and up…depending how good a specimen of the breed you buy. If you want to avoid problems and get a healthy one, buy from a true breeder…not a pet store or a back yard breeder. A legit breeder has testing done on the dogs to rule out genetic disorders that are problems in the breed. If the breeder is also a "show" home, you will pay on the higher end of the scale. In fact, if you pay under 750, you can almost be sure it is a backyard breeder. So, do your research very well. If you want to locate a reliable breeder, try www.akc.com

    Yorkshires AKC registered range from $400-$600 dollars. They do get bigger than the "teacup size". Most Yorkies need a lot of attention, but are very loving dogs. They are usually high-strung and really not good with children. Make sure you find a reliable breeder and insist on seeing both mother and father.
