It goes back to people selling their animals for what they feel they are worth...or atleast a fair price. |
No, I don't breed dogs but I've known actual responsible breeders. It costs them THOUSANDS of dollars not only to MAKE the litter, but to care for all the dogs they own, all the supplies they bought, all the vet care, all the food, all the special prenatal care, AND THEN the puppies themselves.
NO reputable breeder makes money off of dogs. If they're lucky, they break even. Good breeders only breed for the love of the breed. And "designer dogs" are MIXED BREEDS. The are UNPREDICTABLE and NONE of the greeders can breed to preserve the breed.
Plus, don't you know how dangerous it is to give away "free" dogs? They are prone to impulse takers and negligent homes-this isn't always the case, but responsible breeders don't take chances. Here's a good story for you:
