Yes female dogs are more pricey but it shouldn't be that much or at least any more than that. When the testicles do not descend they could be in numerous places. Therefore it is an exploratory surgery. It takes the doctors a little longer as they have to find the testicles first. A female dog well unless deformed it's always in the same spot. lol

Besides even a thousand dollars would be cheaper & better than cemo later on in life, cheaper than a litter of puppies and certainly better than shortening your dogs life.
