What's the point of breeding if you don't breed to keep that show dog you've bred so carefully? I'm sure there is another word for it but right now I can't think of it LOL. So actually it would be cheaper to sell both and purchase one but that's not my goal. So in reality no money is made at all it's all expenses going out.

Selling both and buying another, would defeat every show/breeder's purpose, developing, protecting and caring for their own line. As I said before there is a bit of ego in me that is quenched by that win from the Bred By Exhibitor Class.
