I'm not so much a breeder, but we did breed our little girl for the second time, and have 9 week old puppies. They are small, right now only 1.5lbs, and are AKC registered. (Their mom and dad are both around 3.5lbs, and sister from the one previous litter is only around 3.)

Here's my question, does it always happen to breeders that you get a ton of calls that are shocked at the price? (We are selling them for $1500, which is pretty cheap for the type of puppy they are.) I try to explain that they are high quality puppies, raised with a family, etc, but it seems like people don't care, and just want a cheap yorkie.

I'm just setting up appointments right now, and will hopefully sell them when they are closer to 12 weeks, but I'm just so surprised at the reaction. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
