can someone let me know why girl pups are more expensive than boys? when its on a spay/neuter contract then what would the difference be? thanks!

They are more in demand than males

Exactly. Although, with having both a male and female, I think those that don't consider a male are missing out on some great dogs.

thanks so much!

I love my boy dogs. Even if the price were instead higher for males, I would buy another.

Darlene68 · 01-23-2010, 01:52 PM

I was planning on getting a female when I decided to get a yorkie, the lady I bought from only had males so I got Bailey, I am so happy with my boy, I wouldn't trade him for a million girls!

me too was looking for a girl and my lady only had a boy so I got him and he is the best! he is so lovable, so trainable, he is a great pup, the only reason i wanted a girl so i could dress her so cute, but i'm dressing axel just as cute! he has on a little red polo shirt today sooooo cute! we just love him and i'm glad i got a boy now.

Ditto

I love having one of each

Males really make better pets. Girls are priced higher because everyone thinks they want a female, supply and demand.

_Chrissy_ · 01-23-2010, 05:54 PM

LOVE my boys.
I thought at first I would want girls but they were always taken. So I tried a boy...Loved him. Then we got Mickey.
Boys are really lovable (to me).

I love my Duke. He's such a mama's boy...lol I wouldn't trade him for the world. Someday I wouldn't mind a little girl too.

He was much cheaper to get neutered than a spay would have been as well.

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto.

Plus, boys seem to be easier to potty train.

JMuedog · 01-23-2010, 07:04 PM

I think it is the demand for little girls, with all the cute clothes they have.

I have one of each and I love them both! I think I still favor Finnigan b/c he was my first furbaby and he's so lovable and wants nothing but to please please please me... I also have more clothes for Finnigan than I do Gwenni mostly because we really only dress in the winters and Gwenni doesn't seem to get as cold as Finni.

I think every dog has their own personality though, no 2 are alike... I still find myself wanting more puppies!! I'm not sure what sex I'd get in my next pup though. I'm staying with one of each too hard of a decision.

Chloes dad · 01-23-2010, 07:33 PM

Yeah I had to pay alot more for Chloe than I did her brother, Which I bought for my mom, Chloe however did not come with a spay contract. but I will be getting her spayed anyhow as she is so tiny and I don't want her to have pups. (Shes only 3 lbs)

Zeus08 · 01-23-2010, 07:41 PM

I think it is just like having kids. You love whatever you have been blessed with male or female! Boy I sure love my Mama's boy! And we wanted a girl but took what the breeder had. He was meant to be ours.
