Pricing is down to the breeder not all charge the extra (kc or not) but is it not the thinking of the breeder that paying extra for the bitchs is that their pups are going to be bred from at a later date?? Personally given the choice I prefer a bitch, always had them growing up and my first lurcher was also a bitch! I've just taken on a second, that's a dog in the hope a dog and bitch get along better than 2 bitches so I might change my preference in the future..
