People stop and ask all the time "Is he a teacup?'" (He weighs over 6 lbs though
), then they ask, "How much?". I tell them he cost over a 1000 but here in NY prices are high and not a lot of people seem surprised. On the other hand, when you think about it, some people would spend 400-500 on a purse, or 200-300 for dinner... Spending over a 1000 on a dog that will be your companion for 15 years to come (at least, hopefully), doesn't seem like a big expense to me compared to other things.
