Second, the member who wanted to know Nancy's last name should have done it the proper way if she had any concern and that would have been to pm me. Don't you think? That is private info that I would not just post openly. Excuse me for getting defensive about that but It seems like since I found this place I've had to put my guard up in every direction. I've had my financial and personal character attacked so I assumed by her asking the last name she was accusing me of lying. I'm terribley sorry if it wasn't meant that way but she really should have pmd me if she had a concern like that.
I also like the way you tell me that I shouldn't "skip to conclusions so fast."  Isn't that what everyone has been doing with me? And the conversation was going my way with the very few who actually answered my original question. Eveyone else has totally switched things up to make me out to be some money grubbing puppy hater. There is one question that was never anwered and that was the one that I asked about what people do with the money they make off of their puppys. Do you burn it? It's funny how I've been able to answer questions thrown at me yet not one person can answer that one simple question. I've been bashed for wanting to make a small profit (much later. they are still babies themselves!) but I would really like to know what these "breeders" do with their money they make. Surely they don't buy anything for themselves do they. (sarcasm intended) |
Reputable breeders do it for the love of the breed. They've already lost so much money in the process of breeding (which is why they have a hefty pricetag) that whatever they make from the actual sale just makes them either even out or maybe a tiny bit of loss. That is of course assuming we are talking about a reputable breeder, not a back yard breeder that uses their dogs as cash cows.
There are vet bills, supplies and medicine to be bought and I'm sure credit cards are a breeders best friend to cover that stuff until the puppies are sold to only pay that off to start again later in the year. From what I've heard it's a lot of time and dedication and loads of money. So the answer to your question, I think they use the money they make off of their puppies to replenish their accounts or credit card debts.
By the way, no one MADE anyone out to be a puppy hater but I'm sure you can see how the following sentence can send the wrong message: "Now in order to get the building I need to know how the price of each puppy so I can figure how many litters she'll have to have...I only need enough puppies to get my building and I figure since they are AKC registered they should bring in some money."
