I just got off the phone with my husband's friend. We got on the subject of breeding dogs and I had mentioned how you don't make very much money most, if any. I told him that breeding dogs were meant to be for betterment of the breed not for profit. Well he goes on and on about how most people only breed for money and whoever tells you they are breeding for the betterment of the breed is lying. I explained to him there are health tests for the parents, stud fees, vet visits before the puppies and then after for momma and pups. Not to mention shots, or tail docking. I told him that doesn't include any emergencies that might occur before or after the puppies arrive. I told him that most breeders will sometimes not even break even with their litters. Then ofcourse he tells me that his friend breeds English bulldogs and sell the pups for $850 a piece (which is a little low for an English) and this guy supposedly makes a bunch on his puppies. It just made me made that this guy would claim anyone whoever was breeding to better a breed is lying and they are actually out to get money. Do you breeders that are ACTUALLY breeding to better your breeds make much money? I thought if you bred your dog right than you should consider yourself lucky to break even (or am I wrong).
