Don't buy a mixed breed at any price. They should be given away or sold for a small adoption price like $50 to cover shots. These dogs have greater health problems and run a higher mortality rate than pure breeds. Get a yorkie or get a poodle not a yorkie poo unless it is free. My suggestion go to a good shelter in your area and rescue a dog.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://biturl.im/aUNI0
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don't achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren't putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Don't buy a mixed puppy for top price. You will be fueling the designer breed craze and supporting back yard breeders. Check petfinder.com and they will have many small dogs for adoption.

Mutts are now "designer dogs" as long as you give them a cute name.
I would watch the animal shelters. They periodically get puppies.
Another goodplace is petfinder.com

First find a breeder that lives within traveling distance to you.. Next, call and explain your situation and ask them if you could do some work in the kennel to help with the price.
OR
ask them to keep you on a list of someone willing to buy the puppy that they *just can't find a home for*...
Be willing to take pet quality... as breeders usually like to sell *show quality dogs*... and worry about the pet quality ones *moving out the door*
GOOD LUCK
