YT 1000 Club Member | Can someone say the average time of the females life you get her tested? Right before the heat cycle she is ready to mate? Right after/before the 1 heat cycle? Or anytime before you are (and she is) ready to breed her? |

And to add, NO ONE said you made a profit. The someone said that a lot of breeders do and she said an example. Someone (I think it was you) said that they had to get test done and include things for the puppy and at the end you don't make anything. All that that person mentioned in the post (saying they paid for crate, blankets, shots, etc.) I had did an average of cost and at the end it was still a profit. And even if you sell the that one puppy less than what you spent on him/her you still can off set it or make a profit from a different litter..... Maybe you are referring about the thread that is now close? If so, It is close for a reason.... You didn't need to change the subject in this thread. Everyone was getting a long fine. I hope Admin. can delete the off topic posts.... | |

| I'm not a breeder. I don't even have my puppy home with me yet but, we just took our Golden in for her yearly check up and shots a few weeks ago. For the visit, check up, vacinations and her heartworm meds for 6 months, it was $52 and some change. I'm in SW Indiana. I know that doesn't answer the OP's question, but goes to show the difference in prices even in the same state and probably from vet to vet.

If you don't want to know the truth, then don't ask. I have not changed the topic, I answered what you asked. I get the feeling that you seem to think that all breeders make money off their puppies, but if they do not breed to just sell, then they don't make a profit. I won't be able to get a profit from a different litter anytime in the near future, as I do not breed to just sell puppies, but only to get a dog that I can show. I stated what the expenses are in my area, and I know that here it costs less than a lot of other places, but it still all adds up. | |

| Baron--thanks for the comparison and for answering the questions in the original post (below). I *thought* this thread was about the costs of testing, which is what your replies have consisted of...? Quote:

Baron: Again, I didn't say all people make profits... I said a lot of people. I'm sure there are many breeders that breed once or twice a year for their selves and sell their puppies to a loving family and make nothing because they weren't trying to. I get that. But there's a reason why they are the #2 most popular. And I'm pretty sure not all of them is not trying to make a profit?... I know we are going to continue to disagree but again this is my opinion..... Yeah, and thanks for staying on topic...I'm sure I wasn't. | |

Again, It's my opinion (Well, really a fact about some breeders making a profit) and about 8 other people agrees with me (told me so through PM) so I guess 8 people are wrong. And I guess some people don't realize that not all breeders don't make a profit. In some peoples world, No breeders make a profit. I'm glad I'm living in this one.. ... again, MY OPNION... "...if you did not like the answer you did not have to read it." I'm really trying to stay on topic but you're not really helping. Can we just stop talking to each other My answers we already answered anyway? | |

| Cody, If you re read the post, you will see that I said that the puppymillers and BYB's DO make profits. If you are trying to stay on topic, then why do you keep repeating the same ole thing? I answered about the costs, and that some people THINK, we make profits, when those of us that care and try to produce good healthy dogs do not. If you are so knowledgeable about the vet costs for these tests in all of the nations areas, I would love to know so that I could find a decent vet that knows about toy dogs and is more reasonable for the tests. Please post the vets names, locations, and referances so I can lessen my expenses. |
