There is no doubt a lot of cost and time and energy go into breeding, not to mention the occasional heart break. And it is not done for the profit, you do it for the satisfaction that you get, which is why any of us have any hobby, not for the money.
I am planning to get into breeding and all of this information is extremely valuable to me, nevertheless, even with all the known pitfalls I will do it for the same reason that you all do it. Not because some one told you that you have to do it, but for the wonderfull feeling it gives you. And I will want to get as much as the market will allow for my puppies, so as to re coup some of my expenses but just knowing they are going to a loving home will be a priority. And I will be grateful that there are wonderfull loving people out there that are willing to pay their hard earned money for them, because, if there weren't any buyers, we'd have to stop breeding, or we'd be the crazy yorkie people on the 6 o'clock news.
I'm looking forward to the challenge. |
