Thanks. This isn't a business for us, it's a way of life. Finding just the right home can sometimes mean you don't get a financial reward, but seeing that little boy so happy and cherished with his family is plenty of reward. We have been prepared to underwrite whatever expenses they had with him and let them know they never had to worry about taking him to the vet. We'd put it on our charge card and they could pay us back. We give him his shots and paid for his DNA profile.
People who are breeding for a business just can't afford to do these things. We don't make a lot of money breeding pups and we don't have a long waiting list, but we do have some really great friends with our pups and that has been well worth the effort.
