Teacup Yorkies usually cost around $1000, sometimes a lot more. Prices above $1,500 are not unusual. "Cheaper" Yorkies can be sold as little as $500.

However, The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy, dogs. These are often sold at much higher prices than "regular" puppies of the same breed. "Teacup" means they are so small meaning they can fit in a teacup. However, these dogs are often badly-bred in order to achieve the smallest size possible, with no concerns to their health or temperament.

No responsible breeder will breed or even sell a very small or unhealthy puppy. Most Dog Breed Associations do not recognise Teacup dogs.
