Sorry to sound like a bummer, but many people here can tell you about the pitfalls of buying a bargain Yorkie. Breeders selling for low prices don't do the genetic testing of their breeding dogs and cut many corners.

Often these pups go home with coccidia, giardia, mites, and other problems. These can cost lots of $$$ to treat. Some of these problems can be life threatening or lifelong problems.

Then there is luxating patella (knee problems that can require surgery) and liver shunts (a life threatening a very expensive problem).
