A breeder, even a "show breeder", can have a litter every 2 years or 10 litters a year, depending on how many dogs they have, how hard they are working on their lines, etc. There is no "magic number" for number of litters per year. As long as there is a healthy spacing between litters and the bitches are all being well cared for and loved, sheer number of litters means nothing to me.
My favorite breeder has about 15 adults at any given time - multiple champions, Eukanuba and Westminster wins, always has a dog in the top 10 in the nation, etc. All of her dogs are very well cared for, and loved unconditionally. She has a litter about every 2 months but always has a waiting list for show puppies and a list for pet puppies that continues to grow because she doesn't end up with pet puppies very often.  |
I don't mean to offend anyone unless they're breeding for profit. The breeder you're referring to has proven their dogs in the ring and has a waiting list for puppies before they are born and don't have adds in
www.southeasttexas.com where I became acquainted with bjh.
bjh told me she does't show her dogs because she can't afford to. I have also seen a post on YT where she said the same thing. You would think that someone who says they've been breeding Yorkies for 13 yrs would have had at least one show quality dog, if that's what you're breeding for.
I wonder how many other breeders on YT have 7 or more litters a year?
