I also have never made money off of my dogs.. If you better what you have, your dogs get excellent care by you and your vet and you do show, you never make money! I am so far in the whole I will never see daylight, lol!! But I love the breed and it has become a wonderful part of my life.. |
First it was once, now it's times...how many times have you purchased defective puppies for sow and resold them...Also, Melanie, I would stop buying pups for a while since they all end up having health problems and needing to be resold. Do you have to tell the new owners about their health issues?
