If breeders are breeding for the right reasons and are reputable breeders, they don't make enough money for that to be the reason they stay in it. Sure, it's easy to make money if you just buy two dogs, do no health testing, don't show, and then breed them together.... but those that do it the right way don't make money. |
I can tell you right now that breeders make next to NOTHING for what they put into it. I don't even want to THINK about how much I'm in the hole at this point when it comes to breeding. I'm just starting out, but I guarantee you that it will take me several years to even just get back what I put into them, let alone make a profit. That is NOT why I do this....if it were for the money I would have quite a looonnnnggg time ago.
