[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t brevridge an ED for a decent sized non profit making 225K a year but I bet most purebred breeders make a tenth of that.  They usually do one litter a year, and have to pay stud fees, vet bills, food for the mom, supplies for the pups, genetic testing, website hosting and maybe design, AKc registration fees.  I really shout they clear more than 10K a litter.  They are doing it because they like the dogs. That’s the real breeders.

I think there is a market for the old school backyard breeder like we had in the 20th century — like my great uncle who had hunting dogs, would let the best one get together with his buddies’  best dogs, then they’d each keep a pup and sell or give away the rest.  No fancy registration or genetic testing just a couple of people who thought their dogs were great and wanted another one like it.  The Amish seem to be filling that market gap but it’s totally unclear whether they have the same  interests as the 20th century backyard breeder who really knew the temperment and health of the dogs involved.  The old school backyard breeders were more like canine yentas — “such a match I have for you!  So beautiful!  Such a sweet personality!  A strong back!  And brings back the best ducks!”   [/quote] [b]you’re kidding yourself if you think they only have one litter a year.[/b] But let’s assume everything you said is correct, 10k is easy month for breeding dogs in your back yard or shed. You can work at the Same time, or not. Most dog breeders or not in your income bracket so an extra 10k a year is a lot. It’s easy money, at the detriment of the thousands of dogs being put down every day. [/quote]
Luckily good breeders show their litters and the moms and the dads (assuming I can’t post with the word for mother dogs here) on their websites. [/quote]
