I know that vet care certainly varies a great deal depending on the part of the country you live in. The actual dog may run close to the same but the vet bills are generally much less expensive in Texas than in Massachusetts for example. So if you were to have to compensate the breeder for spaying etc, that could make a big difference in the price.
I found this by comparing with a Breeder/Exhibitor of Chihuahua's that I know from that area.
