Dogs also range in price depending on what state you are in or if there are a lot of breeders around you. |
The higher price for the small ones is simply because "they can". there is a higher demand for hem and people are willing to pay outrages prices for them.
Many unscrupulous breeders will even sell a 6 wweek old puppy, telling the uninformed buyer, that the puppy is 12 weeks old, to make them think it is going to be small, just so they can get more money for them.
