while we are on the subject though why does a breeder (no one person, just in general) decide that a dog is not kept for breeding or showing and still charge an arm and or leg for it? "you" are basically saying that this dog is not worthy of my program so i am going to have it S/N and still expect someone to pay upwards of 1500 to 3k for him/her. |
As for getting more for females, it's a matter of supply and demand and what the market will stand.
As for charging as much for a pet quality as they do for breeding quality, Look at the price range. Some sell for $500, others for $10000. Some ask ridiculous amounts for tiny ones that cannot possibly be healthy. And people will pay it. Why? Because people will pay more thinking that they are getting more. Some people think a $500 dog must have something wrong with it, whereas if they price is $1500, they think they're getting a better dog. Go figure.
