She cannot put herself in the category of a "normal pet owner." Once she started breeding, she put herself in a category that carries a very heavy responsibility -- she started bringing these creatures into the world, and any genetic or developmental problem they experience IS of her doing. Any injury they experience while in her care IS her responsibility. If she can't put enough $$ aside to be ready to cover the potential expense, then she doesn't have the resources required, morally or ethically (and in some locations, legally) to be a breeder.
