[quote=Anonymous]My grandma did this. One, you have to understand just how much this costs. Most breeders barely break even, someone like my grandma who mostly gave puppies to friends and family, it cost a significant amount. My grandmother did the whole thing proper with genetics checks, proper registration, and proper stud fees. That's not cheap. Backyard breeders often skimp on those but they end up risking health issues. Two, it is an insane amount of work. When her dog had a new litter we'd all pitch in on cleaning. Any puppies that had health problems basically needed 24 hour care that we did in shifts. Three, it's emotionally draining. Things can go wrong and sometimes you can try and try but a puppy will die. It can also cause stress to the mom dog and change her behaviorally. My grandmother liked it but she had significant animal experience growing up on a farm, she could afford the expense, and we all pitched in to help.[/quote]
