I think that most of us old timers will tell you that if you do the whole thing right you might break even once in a while but most of the time- you are in the red. The first timer may have the luck and come out making a profit on that first litter- but I doubt that they spent any time picking out the stud- or they used thier own even if it was not a good match they used him to cut costs. What kind of prenatal care did the bitch have. Did they keep the puppies until 9 weeks of age at least and place two vaccinations and wormings in the puppies. Did you have the kids vet checked- did you send them home with a health certificate- did you give a warranty that covers the puppy for at least a year.

Have you ever turned down the client that you talked to on the phone/ or who is at your door with the money in hand. I have done it 4 times in the last 30 days- because it was not the right home for the puppy. The new owner want to be was not listening to a word I had to say and you could tell that they wanted the puppy because he was priced much lower then other puppies of the age and quality being advertised- but they did not want him for himself. They wanted a bargain that they were going to make fit into thier mold. Could I have used the money you bet. The right home will come along and I can sleep at night because I did the right thing for my baby boy. If he stays here and grows old with me so be it. How many of you have gave a puppy to a organization like " Make a wish" no strings just gave the puppy to someone who was ill just to make them happy- and wrote off any profit. There have been years that I did not breed a litter of pupies- there have been years that I have breed 2 and gave all but the ones that I wanted to a sick or terminally ill person- I will get the yorkies back if the adopting folks decide not to keep them. Thought I would share that with you for the person from this forum who left me the message on my website calling me a puppymill. They feel that I do not want others to breed- I just want to breed myself and make all that money. I just want you to use your head when you breed put time, thought and effort into the process.
