What is the cheapest price for Yorshire Terriers?

Question

i really really want to get a yorky! they are soooo adorable!

Answer 1

Why do you really want a Yorkie? Can you care for him for 15 years? What happens if he ends up growing to be 25 lbs?

Trying to save money by looking for cheap dogs is not the way to go. Cheap dogs may end up costing you more in the long run. And, a cheap dog from an unethical breeder means that you are supporting the millions of purebreds killed each year in shelters. If you can't live without a Yorkie, you don't want a purebred rescue dog, and you can provide a home for it and $1000 in medical care at the drop of a hat, then visit a REPUTABLE breeder. Good luck to you.

25% of dogs in shelters are purebreds. Including Yorkies, which often show up because smart azzed girls get them as accessories and then dump them when the dog doesn't fit their lifestyle or pees on their Jimmy Choos.

There are also things called breed rescues. These are organizations within the national dog club that rescues purebred dogs.

As far as finding a good breeder, you won't find one in the newspaper. You won't find a well bred dog from a pet store. You won't want to buy a dog from a backyard breeder, a breeder who randomly ships dogs, or any other shady source. You need to take the responsibility of finding an ethical, reputable breeder. Otherwise, you will be supporting the deaths of thousands of Yorkies that are killed each year in shelters. I'll give you some resources to check out.

And please, remember that this is a committment that could be 15 years or longer. If you can't ensure that you are going to always have pet friendly homes for the next 15 years, if you can't ensure that you will ALWAYS have $1000+ for emergencies for your dog, if you can't ensure that you will spend the money to purchase a pet quality dog from a reputable breeder, then it's not the right time to get a dog. Wait until you are more stable and then look into it again.


The following information is from the National Yorkie Club's Code of Conduct. If your breeder does not meet these codes, or is not a member of the national and local clubs, then you need to look elsewhere:

CODE OF CONDUCT
.
.
.
1) Assistance and encouragement shall be willingly offered by members to show novices
and others needing advice and guidance. The welfare of the breed will be in their hands
in the future.
.
2) All dogs will be kept under safe and sanitary conditions, be given maximum health
care and protection, including regular inoculations and proper nutrition.
.
3) Healthy spacing between litters will be a priority and unspayed bitches will be
protected from unplanned matings. Bitches will in no case be bred before their second
heat or before they are at least 18 months of age, whichever comes first, nor be placed
at risk by an unreasonable number of cesarean sections and then only with the
concurrence of a veterinarian.
.
4) Puppies will not be sold or consigned to pet stores, agents, or other commercial
enterprises nor sold to disreputable breeders, and neither puppies nor stud services
will be offered as prizes or for raffles.
.
5) Prospective buyers will be screened as thoroughly as possible to determine their
intent, as well as their ability and interest in providing a safe, adequate, loving
environment and a long term relationship with a puppy or adult dog.
.
6) All puppies and dogs offered for sale will be sold with written sales agreements to
include clear terms and conditions and be signed by the seller and buyer. The contract
will request that the seller be contacted in the event that at any time the owner is
unable to keep the dog, it will be the obligation of the seller to assist in the placement
of the dog in question.
.
7) Purchasers will be required to neuter/spay all puppies sold as pets. If specified in
the written sales contract, the seller will promptly release limited registration forms
upon receipt of a veterinarian’s certification of such spaying or neutering.
.

of age to facilitate adequate socialization as well as appropriate emotional and
temperament development through interaction with siblings, dam and other dogs.
.
9) Breeders will provide puppy buyers with written details of feeding, general care,
date and types of a minimum of two (2) inoculations, as well as dates of wormings,
grooming instructions, etc. and be available to offer future advice as needed.

Answer 2

The price shouldnt matter,,, you get what you pay for so you might not want to go out and get the cheapest yorkie out there cause if you are just looking at the cheapest price then there might be something wrong with the pup health might not be that good,, with many diseases genetically,,, you will want to look at a resposiable breeder that knows what they are doing when it comes to breeding that certain breed,, or you can always look at resueing a yorkie at a shelter or go to www.petfinder.com,,, I hope this helps and good luck at finding the right puppy for you

Answer 3

OK, i hope your not one of those "i want a small doggie so i can carry in my bag" IDIOTS. a Yorkie, you might find for 900.00. but its gonna be big. make sure you go to a breeder. a GOOD breeder. go see the puppies parents and ask for a vet check for parents to make sure they dont have any genetic dieseases. yorkies are very attention craved. make sure you have a lot of time to dedicate it to your dog. also, make time for lots of grooming. ..... do your homework before you jump into a decision like an idiot without thinking through. doont buy from a pet shop. if you want a sick dog, go ahead and buy from a pet shop. hope this "enlightens" you.

Answer 4

Your best bet is to go through a yorkie rescue group. You aren't going to be able to find a good one for a cheap price from a breeder. Go to petfind.com

Answer 5

Yorkies are usually expensive. The smaller they are, the more cash you'll shell out. Keep an eye on your local SPCA/Humane Society. You never know...

Answer 6

Answer 7
