To clarify, the supply is low but the demand is high.

I'm guessing your blue chihuahua has the condition known as color dilution alopecia, one of the issues with these dogs is hair loss among other problems. That is one of the off colors sometimes seen in the yorkie, that I would never recommend breeding for.
