A lot goes into to being able to provide that great dog/puppy that you are going to provide. If you have the money to purchase breeding quality stock and pay for all the needed vet expenses and other items needed in the resulting litter GO FOR IT. If you do not have breeding quality stock you are not doing a service to the public.
I have organizations who contact me and I give several puppies away each year to deserving folks. Can I afford to sell my puppies at 400.00 no sorry not in the budget. With the care that my kids need, medical bills, show expenses, outside breeding fees- I am usually in the red at the end of the year. Great year is to have had fun and not be in the hole.
