Actually, many people got into breeding because they really wanted a hobby that they believed in, and they had the money to support their hobby. I can tell you that many good breeders place their breeding dogs for free in the hands of someone who has shown great promise, and a love for the breed. I know some of you will never believe it, and especially some breeders who can't get a good name to sell them a dog.
