I had a breeder once estimate that she really doesn't break even unless she sells a puppy for a $1000. I think some breeders sell the "high demand" puppies (female tinies w/babydoll faces) at a premium price and then let their puppies with "faults" go for less and break even or make a small profit that way. Some turn their lesser quality puppies over to a broker or a "friend" to sell. |
