So, there is a member here who is purporting to be a Show Breeder, however, on one of the breeder listing sites, I'm reading that this breeder states they 'breed some bitches who are out of standard', and breeds 5-10 litters a YEAR. It also appears that this member may be a member of the YTCA.
Does this seem off to only me? From what I've seen here at YT, the Exhibitors breed *maybe* 1 litter every 1-2 years, and only if there really is a need for it in their program.
What am I missing here? Or, is this someone who may be talking out of both sides of their mouth? Purporting one thing, while doing another... |
I was under the same impression as you- that show breeders tend to breed very few litters and only when they think it will either help their program or advance the breed in general.
Forgetting show breeders all together- 5-10 litters seems like a lot for ANY breeder- I can't imagine someone can have 10 litters a year and really give each litter the necessary attention and properly screen all those homes. If my math is correct, that would mean they ALWAYS, all year long, have more than one litter in the home. I can't imagine...
