Sizes and Prices

Prices are ultimately based upon many different things not just size.
The following is just a simple guide.

Teacup
3-6 lbs. as adult


$2500-$3000.00

This size is especially rare and very hard to find, if it is a true Teacup. Many people will tell you that they have this size but be aware as most breeders do not know how to size their puppies.


Imperial
6-9lbs. as adult


$2000.00

This also is a hard size to find as people will tell you that this is how big their puppies will be and then it grows to be 18 lbs. Do not be fooled by breeders that just want to make the big money. Some breeders will lower the weight of the dog sacrificing the muscle and bone. This is why I ask so much for my dogs as I have had very much experience in sizing puppies and will never sacrifice anything for money.


Tiny Type
9-11 pounds as adult


$1500.00

This size can be shown. I do not get very many that are directly from me that are this size, but when I have puppies of this size, they are absolutely top quality in every way.


References are always given when asked. And never a letter but a phone number to talk in person with a real puppy buyer.

Why are my puppies so much money?

I agree that you could probably find a puppy somewhere else cheaper but let me just say this--you pay for what you get. I can't tell you how many people have bought from somebody else only to call me later and tell me that I was right and the heartbreak they have had when their puppy has died or that they had to place the puppy as it was aggressive (which is not part of this breed at all) or that the puppy was not what the breeder told them it would be like (size, color, personality, health).
I have taken great care in selecting, each dog I own and breed. I know not only the dogs I own but the dogs in their pedigrees. I have done my homework and made sure they are from not only healthy dogs but healthy lines as well. I make sure they are as close to the AKC conformation as I can get them but still keeping them small. I have had show handlers look at them and say if they were only larger they would take them in the show ring today. Their personalities are very sweet and loving while still being courageous, inquisitive and playful. They love everyone. They are smarter than others that I have seen as well. I have taught more than one dog a trick such as dance or shake hands in a half hour. Even Basil who is a breeding male does not lift his leg in the house. He is too smart to do such a thing. I have even has some of my puppies that have been litter box trained and most go home almost housebroken.
I have put a lot into my dogs and they are definitely the best available. My puppies are worth every penny. Yes, you could pay less somewhere else but you would also get less as well.

Each puppy adopted from me comes with unparalleled customer service for the life of the dog. No other breeder offers more than I do. My customers happiness is my first priority.

I feel my prices are very reasonable for what I and my dog's have to offer, therefore, I refuse to lower the Quality of my dogs and the Quality of the care I give to my dog's to meet the prices in the local newspapers just to make a sale. My puppies are definitely
A PAW ABOVE THE REST and are worth every penny!

The Sweetness of a Low Price,
will always wear off with the Bitterness of Low Quality!!

Male or Female which is better?

If you thought you wanted a female because you have been told that females are more loving and easier to housebreak. You have been miss-informed. Neutered males are extremely loving and are incredibly devoted to their family members . They are very easy to housebreak and will squat like a girl for the rest of their lives (unless taught to lift their leg by another dog). They will follow you every where and always want to be held in your lap and love to travel in a purse. Everyone that has had a male just loves them to pieces and does not regret their choice to have a male. In fact most that have a male and a female prefers their male. They are just the most wonderful pets and become one of the family very quickly.
