From what I know breeding is a pain in the butt so why do it to break even or loose money.
I know the difference between a show breeder and other types of breeders, but how can you tell the difference between a BYB and the type that does not show but breeds to your standards, from what I can tell except for puppy mills most of people breed in their homes. Also what should someone do if their budget is $500.00 |
There is a ton of info here regarding how to tell a BYB from a Show/reputable breeder, if their budget is only $500 they should save a little longer until they find a reputable breeder and a pup from said breeder, then they will have enough money.
It amazes me how people are so "I'm not paying that much for a dog" but swear that said dog is their baby later....you can't really put a price on a member of your family and if $1500< is too much to pay for a family member...then I just don't understand this.
