the high end of the mini wieners down here is 5 to 6 hundred.....and I've seen some of those pups, and wasn't impressed at all. I have two.....that are registered. The male cost $300...and the only reason he was bought is because Mr Lilly bought him for me for our 20th weddin anniversary. I bout fell over when he told me how much he cost. My female only cost me $150 (normally females go higher than males)
some of the higher dollar one's I've seen, the puppies look malnurished, and aren't built right. Not sayin all are like that but I've seen enuff of them to know that I won't be buyin from those breeders. I think alot of them think that just because they are papered, or that they have color, that they are worth what they are askin. I'm real picky when it comes to pickin a pup out...of any kind. whether it's a wiener dog, border collie, or a heeler. I wanna spend some time with them and watch them to see how they act, and what their personality is like. Same goes for sendin a puppy home with someone. I wanna know what kinda person is gettin a pup. I won't send one home with just anyone that has the money to pay for it. Also if they have kids, I want the kids present when they are pickin a pup......if the kids don't know how to handle a pup.....then they don't get one.
