Well I don't agree with people marketing dogs as teacups or trying to achieve extremely small dogs either! Expecially when they are charging outrageous prices. I cannot for the life of me believe that someone who does those two things, particularly in combination of one another, is doing so for any reason other than to make money. I think once one's vision is clouded by that, the health and well being of the dogs is no longer the primary focus and concern.

If someone can prove to me that the higher price is due to increased medical testing or genetic research or importing dogs or to cover show expenses or an emergency c-section--something of that nature, I can understand that. But when someone has outrageous prices just because they can pull in a higher dollar amount because they are producing something 'rare' or 'trendy', then I don't believe their goals are where they should be.
