First of all breeder/exhibitors are breeding for themselves for their net champion to add to their breeding program, that one special puppy that has the "it" factor. Unfortunately, we can't keep all the puppies, so they are placed in preapproved homes. The problem is since we only breed for that next Champion we only breed 1 or 2 litters a year and have a waiting list. |
Agree 100%. I to am a breeder/exhibitor.Last year I had 3 litters. The pups I could not keep ( can't keep all)started at $800.00, already spayed/neutered with papers & full pedigree. It is more important to me to have my babies in a loving, forever home.
