Personally I used the term greeder for anyobe who I can determine is breeding for profit only and furthermore they deny the standard costs of veterinary care, do not health test etc, just a BYB with a lot if dogs pumping out litter as a side income for themselves.
Health testing isn't that expensive actually, OFA and chic cerf are, but basic health screenings and knowing the line genetics is so cheap compared to the costs of a mishap, or parvo like Yorkimom went through....a greeder would not hace spent that they'd have considered the sale of those pups lost income and well hopefully dumped the litter at rescue, many put them down some themselves to ecen cut the cvet euthanasian cost.
FYI for breeders health gene testing for colors is only a couple hundred at most too so off standard breeders even do this.
The vreeder I was refering to previously that 2kprice was for limited registration pet only quality pups.
