I was not implying that breeders who do their own tails, dew claws and vaccines are bad breeders and those of you who are accusing me of this are just "reaching" as usual to find something to "shake your heads about".
Yorkie Rose said "A GOOD BREEDER CHARGES A LOT"...does this mean that she thinks breeders who don't charge alot are bad breeders? No, and none of you would accuse her of that because you know that is NOT what she meant.
So why do it to me?
I know there are valid reasons for doing your own tails, dew claws and vaccines like not wanting the pups exposed to the risks and stress of travel to the vets office and feeling that you do it better and more compassionately than the vet after so many years of experience. I respect this......my examples were merely that...examples...and not an implication of anything bad or negative. We all have read the threads where breeders have admitted to doing all of these things to save money. I am just pointing out that there is a way to not have to cut costs...charge a fair price for your pups......hopefully the buyers will recognize what you have put into these babies and not complain. |
Please allow me to explain my comment- In my opine breeding is a type of business- as an owner of a retail store this thread would be no different than asking me what my margins are- I would not share that as it is my business- I feel we owe our breeders here some amount of respect- that while it is nice to ask them "what if" questions to help occasionally I believe that this type of thread crosses the line. Some things are not anyones business and money happens- in my opine- to fall in that category.
As for why do it to you- I am not clear what that means, but you were the one who "bumped" this up. So if you take my comments as directed at that ok, but that is your decision.
