This is what I posted when the question was asked before:

Thanks for asking this question. Prices on Biewers are going up rapidly. Thanks to the brokers. I ve seen prices $3500 and up on average. Making double even triple profit, even more a year ago. The Germans are not stupid, they are fully aware this is happening so they have now rasied their prices. Brokers are known to be dishonest with the breeders in Germany who trusted them with their babies, lying and saying they are buying for themselves or a friend selling the pup for astronimocal amounts with NO guarantee or history with the puppy. Then you have other brokers that work with breeders in Germany who sell puppies to these brokers. It's a damn shame. Anyway, long story short, I personally don't feel that Biewers should be much more than Yorkshire Terriers. There is a little more cost involved because they are registred in Germany, costs a little more than to register with the AKC. My prices for my Biewers which will have Germany Registration papers, all shots, already spayed or neutered, full blood panel to check for Liver Shunt and other health prolems, guaranteed, puppy pack, will start at $2200 for males and $2600 for females. The price may vary depending on how much I have to spend on the litter, ie..c-section, xtra prenatal care. When I start showing my prices will go up to cover those expense as well. It baffles me to see prices for $3500 and up from someone that just sells puppies and does NOTHING else. Of course this is my opinion. I am sure there are other opinions that differ from mine.
Susan from Magnolia Yorkies shows her Biewers so I don't expect her prices to be similar to mine. I am sure she has even more expenses because of that. So to charge more is justifiable. She is doing something for the breed.

Wow..I just can't give a short answer can I?..lolol..sorry.

Hugs,
Irene
