| I dont know about anywhere else but here females are more expensive because you can make money with them later on if you decide to breed.It sounds awful but that is the breeders exuse here in Spain. Also,males are cheap here because there isnt much of a demand for male dogs. |

| One male can produce many litters simultaneously. A female can only be bred when in heat and then hopefully not in every cycle. I've noticed that in litters, typically there are fewer females born than males. Maybe its just the places I've looked at litters though. Lisa

| I asked the same question when I was first searching for Lil Bit...I had a male yorkie previously and he was a "pee in the house machine"...(a bit spoiled and a lot of attitude!!)...... When I started looking again my hubby requested a female for that reason only! I was told that yorkies tend to have litters with more male puppies and fewer females..... The folks I contacted about getting a puppy all had the same reply...."this litter of 3 was....2 males...1 female"....... and on. |

| Yea that was the same with my breeder she always had more males than females in a litter. Also her females tended to be smaller than the males. Wonder why?

| When I was looking around the Dallas area about a 2 years ago they were not going for more. At least from the Bluebonnet YTC (Local chapter of YTCA) everyone was asking the same for male or female. Now the adds in the paper were a different story.
