[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Our dog is on a limited registration from the breeder so no. Plus taking care of all of the puppies isn't exactly something most people can do working outside of the home.[/quote]

Correct. Most people who do this responsibly and ethically are professionals. The few non-professionals who do this right way tend to need to fit in a specific profile. It is expensive and actually takes *multiple* people around the clock at home when the puppies are young as well as space and a lot of knowledge of dogs.

My in-laws considered doing this at one point and ultimately decided against it. But to give you an idea of why they even considered it, their circumstances at the time were that they both retired from full time work very early (before 55) and they were both going to be involved in caring for teh dogs, all their kids were out of the house, they were both in good health and fit, they lived in a large property in a rural area, they had owned show dogs for years so were extremely well known in the dog community, etc. Not many people have that set of circumstances.[/quote]
