I do not believe Brokers are bad people either..they are people like all of us..some good, some bad. I fault the breeder in this area..not a broker.

My question is this..why would a breeder NEED a broker? There can only few reasons..they breed in such volume as their income, therefore they must have a 100% cash in hand way to move the pups from the kennel on a regular basis etc.

If a breeder has 30 pups, they must find 30 homes, that is very time consuming and each week they keep the pups there is less profit. They can not breed more pups until those 30 are gone or lose profits..since it is an income that is not an option. The broker is the solution.
What reasons would a small hobby breeder like myself have to deal with a broker?
The reasons I have been told are..

I do not like dealing with all the "nuts" looking for pups...me either!
I do not want the stress of finding new homes..me either!
I do not have time to devote to selling pups..me either!
I do not want strangers in my home..me either!
I love breeding, hate selling..me too!
They live in a remote area and there are no buyers.
Unless you live in the Outback, there is usually a large city to avertize in the newspaper..and people will come to a reputable breeder..I have gone to some very remote places myself..but this does not work for a volume breeder who must move the pups out with no hazzles. JMO
