YT Addict | I agree, I have never understood why they charge more for girls than boys either. It doesn't cost more to birth a girl than a boy. Some breeders vary prices greatly, but sell with a pet only clause. If they are all going to be a pet and can't breed, then why the price variations? They can't show them if the get them fixed. So it doesn't make any sense. It's like putting a value on each of your kids with a different amount. |

Honestly if people did any reaserch before they buy a dog they would be educated enough to see that paying $5000.00 for a dog out of the same litter as one being sold for $1500.00 because it is being advertized as a tea-cup, mini, micro mini, teaspoon or anyother name they are called would be able to walk away with their money and not be scammed. As long as there is uneducated buyers that don't take the time to learn the breed standard and care of them there will be price gouging and scams going on. Serious i have had people ask me if mine 2 were yorkies or yorkshire terriers like there was a difference I wanted to add i don't feel you should breed for tiny dogs but it does happen in a normal litter. Nor do i feel that the small ones should be thousands more than a reg size one but i can see a little higher price to recoupe the extra cost.

| I feel the same way as the OP on all of that, in addition I hear a lot of the term "teapot" but when "teacup" is used, everyone is up in arms about it!! I don't get that at all (I understand the use of the word to obtain more profit for the pup, which I feel is wrong)... The only other thing I can think of is they are possibly making fun of the whole "teacup" thing...

| What would you want a breeder to say when describing the size of a puppy? I think a 4-5 lb. dog is "small". What would you call a dog that might be 3 lbs.? My opinion on the male/female thing is the females cost more because more people want them. Not to breed but more likely because they think males are harder to house train. They don't want a "marker". So the females are more expensive. I personally don't try to educate everyone I meet. If they are buying a puppy from me -- then I take all the time in the world to make it clear what the standard is.
