Here's the ad:

HE HAS HIS OWN CLIENTEL OF ABOUT I8 FEMALES THAT BREED TO GIM YEARLY, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH BUT DONT HAVE THE TIME TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS HE WEIGHS 4LBS AT 3 YRS OLD AND HE IS ACTUALLY OVER WEIGHT HE DOES NOT MISS A MEAL,HIS DAD IS A CHOCOLATE, AND HIS MOTHER ALSO CARRIES THE CHOCOLATE GENE. OUT OF EVERY LITTER HE HAS PRODUCED THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHOCOLATE OR TWO IN THE LITTER, HE VERY SELDOM THROWS THE BLACK AND TAN. HE IS A PROVEN STUD DOG, AS I SAID WITH HIH OWN CLIENTEL , HIS STUD FEE VARIES PER FEMALE USUALLY I CHARGE 1000 OR 700 AND 1ST PICK PUPPY.AND HIS CLIENTEL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. HE JUST BRED AN 8 LB BLONDE FEMALE AND HAS ANOTHER SET UP IN ABOUT 10 OR 11 DAYS SO THAT 1000 COULD BE IN YOUR POCKET, SO ITS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THATS ABOUT 17,000 TO 20,000 EXTRA IN YOUR POCKET BOOK TWICE A YEAR,HE HAS THE SAME FEMALES COME EVERY YEAR. MOSTLY BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE AND THAT HE HAS THOSE CHOCOLATE GENES IN HIM THOSE PUPS SELL FOR 2500 TO 3000 PER PUP!! ALOT TO THINK ABOUT ,OH, AND HE IS A.P.R.I. REGISTERED AS MOST OF THE FEMALES HE BREEDS TO ARE AND THE OTHERS ARE CKC WHICH HE ALSO IS!

My wife and I have talked about breeding (we have a females already) and she is really interested in doing this. We understand there is a lot of time and work involved (she's not working, so she has a lot more free time). I would greatly appreciate your opinions and input. Again, sorry to hijack the thread.
