I think it depends on what kind of a puppy that you want to have, how much you are going to have to pay to get it. It used to be that only a purebred dog would cost several hundred dollars, but nowdays, the tiny Designer Breeds of dogs cost as much, or more, than a purebred.
Some of them are extremely cute. My personal favorite is the Shorkie, which is a Yorkie and Shih-Tzu cross Designer Dog.
Shorkies are usually toy size like the Yorkie, and have the laid back temperament of the Shih-Tzu, and their face is a combination of the two breeds, so they have the cute little flat face, but then they have the little perky-up ears sticking up, like a Yorkie.
They usually sell for $300-500 if they are Toy or Teacup size, and are perfect companions for older people, since they are small enough to easily carry around.
