— Yorkshire Terrier puppies in Ogden, UT

Standard size AKC yorkies ranging from 5-10lbs are $2500. Puppies expected to be 4lbs with babydoll face are $5500.

I could probably write a few pages describing the time and money I have spent and continue to spend in order to have Yorkshire terriers of this quality, size, and rare coloring. I have invested nearly a decade into this effort and the price reflects the quality of that investment. I can guarantee that the health, temperament, and training of each and every puppy is above even the highest of expectations.

Some people want bigger Yorkers and some people want smaller yorkies. The price of the smaller yorkie is reflected in the investment of the time and genetics to breed them and the rarity of them.

Babydoll face yorkies who are expected to be 4lbs or under are rare. It take years and years to breed those genetics and make healthy puppies. When they are that tiny, even though they are healthy, it is a huge investment of my time and energy. My entire life goes on pause just as it would if I had a newborn baby, and as a mother, I can vouch for the honesty of that statement.

It often involves helping the puppy to nurse or doing tube feeding every 2-3 hours for the first few weeks. If they miss even a single time of nursing they can become hypoglycemic and it becomes life threatening. Not everyone is equipped to handle the physical, mental and the heavy emotional toll it can take to do this. I have a 15 year background in healthcare as well as a bachelors degree in health sciences that gives me an abundance of knowledge and experience to successfully breed puppies this small. It also helps me ensure that they are receiving the best care possible. I am also blessed in that my veterinarian's office is within walking distance of my home and I make frequent use of them to ensure the highest level of care.
