I guess people think it doesn't cost much for a breeder to produce a puppy. It does get me upset, but then again people don't know. This is what it cost me for my first litter.
$80. Exam on Bell
$600-stud fee
$90 xrays
$75 post natal check up and tails dock and declaws removed
$120 1st shots
$30 AKC papers
$120 2nd shots
ANd all the time lost at work, and many hours of lost sleep too!
That is for three puppies, 1 I kept for myself.
There isn't really a profit.
I think if people break it down then they would realize cheap or free it impossible
