I really really want a Yorkie puppy and I don’t want to spend too much Can you help me?
I wish people would stop with the nextdaypets garbage. This person wants healthy, not a puppy mill dog.
Healthy Yorkie Puppies will run about $750-$1500 from a good breeder. No way around it. Yes, you can find them for less, but they are ALWAYS from backyard breeders & puppy mills in those cases.
So, if that’s "too much", then the best thing to do is visit Yorkie rescue via http://www.ytca.org
Guess what a puppy is never really is "cheap"
I am calculating for just one dog (50lb dog):
My dog cost me $50 on food/month (good brand + treats), $25 insurance Vip/month, $10 heartworm/month (i think based on the annual cost)
$10 advantage flea product/month (based on 6-month box)
$2 on used tennis balls/month
so a total of: $97/dog
so annually: 12 x $97 + $100 (vet visits – approx) + $75 (vaccines) = $1,339
So $1,339 bucks per year and they are worth every penny.

you do realize that buying the dog is only the start right? you have to spend money to buy food, toys, bedding, vet bills, shots, worming etc… there is no such thing as a cheap dog

go to the pound or the humane society, there are lots of lost and unloved dogs there that come fixed and with shots for a real good price!

You have two choices, cheap, or healthy. You can’t have both in one package.

I really want a Mercedes Benz in good working order, but I don’t want to pay to much. Like you, I am probably out of luck!
Truth of the matter is, pups are not cheap because breeding ethically is not cheap. Breeders have costs they have to pay out of pocket–vet bills, medical tests, vaccinations, registration fees, grooming and whelping supplies, food, breeding stock etc. The expenses for a quality, healthy litter add up quickly. Which of those would you be willing to sacrifice for the sake of finding a cheap pup?
I would suggest that you take your time and focus your efforts on finding a reputable breeder and less on price. If your funds are limited, your best bet is to check with shelters and rescues. Otherwise, bite the bullet and and save your funds just like everyone else.
