I don't really think it's fair to price puppies according to size. I think it's almost like you're saying the bigger Yorkies aren't as good as the smaller ones. I will see so many times on websites a tiny Yorkie who may be 5lbs full grown is priced at like $1500, whereas a bigger one is like $800 or something. I don't see how breeders can determine that... personally I think if you have a litter of puppies, they should all be the same price. Of course, that's just my general public opinion -- I know nothing about breeding. |
I would not look at it as selling the small ones for a premium, but rather selling the larger ones at a discount.
I also discount males, because of the bad reps they have about humping everything, and the people who claim it is normal and natural and needs to be allowed, no one wants them.
Now if people were educated and realized that it is a controlable behavior, Just like chewing on furniture, we would not have to discount them.
