So if you had a litter, would you charge the same price for all?

If that means paying a breeder who may not be ethical then so be it---the pup still needs a home.

I find it interesting that my little imperfection appeals to some people because she is different. I've been told that I should breed her with another brown terrier as I could charge more money for her pups as they'd be 'unusual'.
Fortunately I have a conscience so we'll never know if this would be the case.
