I don't sell show dogs because I breed on a very limited basis and if it's going for show it's mine  I sold one to a show home once and she didn't grow to the size for showing/breeding so I bought her back and placed her with her sister in a great pet home for less than I could have gotten because she had a great home waiting for her and to be with her sister I never regretted buying her back and placing her with her sister! That was the best decision I ever made! Since I don't breed much and when I do I'm breeding for the show dog for myself only everything else will be place as a pet and be spayed/neutered before leaving my house and the price will not be uped just because I spayed/neutered the yorkie.

I do not charge more for pups from c-sections. If I could have - in the last 2-3 years I would have had to hike up my price a ton - ugh... 4 c-sections in 3 years and 2 of them ended up with no pups. I only breed for myself too for a show dog for myself and sell all other pups as pets, no matter how nice with all spay/neuter strict contracts. Last litter for me was almost 2 years ago. So I only have a litter every year or two years. It has been tough going, especially with my first champion bred to a very nice champion male and got a c-section and only one tiny girl from that one, then two other c-sections and got no pups, and then another c-section and got 4 pups finally. C-sections by the way were not related to their size - my last section mom is 6 pounds bred to a 4 pound male. So you never know. Pup tried to come out bent in half with back coming down canal and feet and head touching facing back to uterus. This was a first for me.
