What would you want a breeder to say when describing the size of a puppy? I think a 4-5 lb. dog is "small". What would you call a dog that might be 3 lbs.?
My opinion on the male/female thing is the females cost more because more people want them. Not to breed but more likely because they think males are harder to house train. They don't want a "marker". So the females are more expensive.
I personally don't try to educate everyone I meet. If they are buying a puppy from me -- then I take all the time in the world to make it clear what the standard is.
