Yes, I choose to show dogs because it's my passion and the love of the breed is also my passion so to say that my prices are to eventually make a profit is absurd! No I'm not angry at all just trying to educate why I love what I'm doing. NO I'm not rich I'm just a middle income family with a HUGE debt doing my passion. Again, it's MY choice to do what I do. I haven't mentioned my prices because it's not up for discussion because this is a public forum and I choose not to disclose my prices online. And if you think your question hasn't been answered then you aren't opening up your eyes or opening up your mind. Sorry it's just how I see it
