A certificate from the vet is not a test. The vet cannot thump on the dogs bones like a watermelon to hear if they are sound and strong enough to earn a living being a sport dog (you know, for titleing or something) A vet cannot put on his x ray glasses and see the dogs joints to tell if there is any future risk or HD or ED that can be passed on to offspring by breeding.Vets cant even offer correct feeding advice !!!
Show dogs are expensive, and for a reason. SHOWING dogs costs alot of money.
If I read this right, you are talking conformation, not sporting. So, you have a bitch, you paid???? for her. She goes into heat, stud fees??Of course you want a worthy stud, look at posibly a thousand dollars, given the benefit, we will say $500. You breed, three times??It takes. You have vet visits. You say not expensive so we'll go with $40 per visit. Supplements, and any problems that may arise in between. You whelp, the pups have to go to the vet now. Simple charge. Then momma needs a shot to clean her out, to be examined, more money. Then puppy shots, puppy food, etc.
That is just the puppy process.
Before all this, you have to work on getting a conformation title with the bitch. You start training at a young age. Training costs money, and to make it all the way thru, you spend even more.
One best in show proves NOTHING. This takes possibly years.
It is too much to explain, and I dont feel like typing....but there is NO WAY you can make a living as a REPUTABLE breeder and get rich off of it. I didnt even mention ossible problems that may occur.
Besides, do you know the statistics of how many pups are born CONFORMATIONALLY CORRECT, even though both parents were PERFECT????Very, very low. You are lucky to get one, maybe two!
