They are expensive because there are alot of unethical breeders that breed them just because they are different/uncommon and see the opportunity to charge and arm and a leg for them. Apparently people pay the extra $$, just like they do for 'teacups' so the greedy breeders profit and continue the scheme.
(That's not to say that is the motivation of ALL breeders trying to produce partis.)
Biewers I can kind of understand due to the need to cover costs of importing from Germany and the higher than normal amount of researching and testing breeders are doing since they are a new variation of dog. Costs have to be covered somehow.
