As a breeder/exhibitor, if you properly test your breeding females, males and pups you can most certainly guarantee your pups and stand behind them. The health guarantee that only replaces a pup is worth nothing.
Most reputable breeders do not sell their girls for a higher price than boys. Why? Supply and demand. Especially if you sell on a spay/nueter contract.
As you say good breeders make sure their pups are well socialized and well adjusted. That's why they don't let them go to their new homes at a minimum before 12 weeks of age and weighing 2 pounds. They must have a minimum of 2 innoculations and have been vet checked and had all the required testing performed.....YTCA breeders are mandated to do this in their code of conduct and ethics.
