a lot of people base their purchasing decision of a puppy on the price, and generally breeders charge more for their puppies than backyard breeders. so there are still a lot of demand for the backyard breeders to breed dogs, it is really sad...and it is VERY frustrating.
thank you for this post. but it is so depressing at the same time. there are SO MANY backyard breeders, it is ridiculous! absolutely ridiculous! |
You get so much more for the money though, many show breeders pets are extremely reasonable, and charge less than what pet stores charge. Backyard breeders often charge almost as much and sometimes more than show breeders. They certainly make more "profit" per dog, because with the extra expenses of show breeding it's hard to break even, this is indeed a labor of love. The hardest part in buying from a show breeder is "showing" that you can provide a good home, they never want to take any chances that their dogs will have to be rehomed and are as strict, if not stricter, than rescues.
