[quote=Anonymous]The issue is that truly reputable breeders and few and far between. To be reputable, you’re health testing your dogs and not breeding any dogs with known issues (like hip issues for labs). You’re concerned about the health of the future line. You’re probably only breeding your females once or twice a year. You’re keeping the puppies for closer to 12 weeks and socializing them wrt people, strangers, other dogs, noises, etc. To make a profit, they have to charge more than most people are willing to pay. It’s more like an expensive hobby than a job. The problem is, there are not enough of these types of breeders ^ to meet the demand for dogs. So most people selling pups are either backyard breeders or puppy mills. They’re breed8ng dogs Willy nilly and you end up with many dogs with health problems.[/quote]
