Every breeder should make some money, the ones that have to have c-sections, etc. don't make as much, and it depends on how much you sell your pups for...If you sell them for $4000-$5000 apiece, well, sure, you're going to see a profit, but, if you sell them for $500 on up to $1500, you won't make as much..that would be my problem if I bred, I would probably only sell them for $500 apiece..so, I would go in the hole..
