I may be wrong but that's always what I thought those 2 terms meant. |
Thank you for the clarification, I definitely don't want to be called a BACKYARD breeder. As I am blessed with five wonderful little darlings and only breed one of my females to one of my males, mainly because friends and family love my babies so much that they request it. I like it because I can still keep in touch with all pups. It is definitely not my source of income, I only breed her once a year. They are my family, all five, we let my husband and son be part of the family also.
