Also, just as you do not want breeders knocking you, be careful not to knock those who do kennel raise. Remember, we all began somewhere... most of us in our homes and yards.... Unless one was raised in this business, I doubt anyone bashing you began with a 2,000 sq ft. kennel with cement runs, fully staffed. Keep your chin up and keep yourself above reproach... You need a very thick skin in this business, between other breeders, difficult buyers, and the reality of what "can" and will eventually happen with regard to your dogs... dont worry about the bad and enjoy what you are doing.....

Guess I'm not as thick-skinned or as educated on breeding as I thought. Maybe I'll just keep my girls as pets - I'd rather not risk their health breeding them. I read and read and I've gotten wonderful advice from most YT members, but I still don't understand the "business" of breeding as well as I thought. I will probably fix my girls and just enjoy their company. my two boys left are 10 weeks and are up for sale or adoption. City ordinance says I can't have more than 4 dogs and my boys put me over the limit. I would have to move elsewhere to get an actual kennel license. Thanks to everyone for their honest advice.
