But all of the stuff that you buy extra for the puppies will be less than $1,000. If I was going with what she was saying, then there still will be thousands in profit.
Vet visits (shots, docking, check ups, etc.... If you don't do it yourself) COULD be $100 per pup.. But with an average of about 4 pups that is only $400.
Toys.. Let's say about $5/toy and maybe 5 toys each will come to about $100 for the litter
Crates.. In Austin, I can get a new traveling crate for about $25-$40, so add another $150
Misc (blankets, books, bed, etc.) could come to about $50 extra per pup, so that adds another $200
Then (if this is the first litter if the breeding pair) you will subtract $500 each per testing
Which makes the total to about $1900... $6000 - $1900= a lot of profito...lol...
What you describe isn't a real good defense...
I already know for a fact many breeders make profits, NO ONE will admit it so there isn't any need to make a defense because everyone will deny it or say that they make little. And then some will say that their profit only goes to the next litter and yadda, yadda, yadda..... Who cares anymore. you can't change anyone view on this because there are so many judgemental people on YT and sometimes people get intimidated and are in fear of not being liked on here. Everyone denies everything, and it's very sad because I can tell some people put up fronts to appear better...
I guess I shouldn't speak anymore on this topic, because I don't have anything nice to say to some people
