If your prime motive is to make money or a profit; then it is highly likely the health of the dog(s) will suffer over time How much will you really dish out for emergency care of your dogs .. after all that affects your bottom line! Will you give the injections/shots yourself to save money; and not bother to educate yourself how to keep vaccines?
How much time and training and activity will you do with your dog(s), after all this costs money too, less for your bottom line.
ANd you go down the line, oh I don't actually health test my dogs, never had a problem with any pup before. Health testing is another cost that affects your bottom line.
Also many of these types offer minimal or no actual health guarantee.
Many of these types do NOT follow up with their puppys health over their lifetime; so quite frankly they really don't know what is the long term health of their puppies.
I do not agree with breeding companion animals as your sole source of income.
