[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think it's cool to have puppy making as a hobby?  having two or three dams times two or three times a year times 5 puppies per litter?  So estimate 45 puppies per year?

Here's a pricing sheet on boxer puppies.  It says $800 - $2000 PER PUPPY:  http://www.newcastleboxers.com/pricing.shtml

So that's a hobby that grosses between $40k and $90k per year?  Not a business indeed.  [/quote]

Wrong.

You keep thinking of a factory when these people ARE NOT IN THAT KIND OF BUSINESS. My breeder had no plans to breed her dogs for the next two years, because it's a ton of work, given her high standards, and keep in mind I just wrote that she does not want her dams bred more than twice in their lifetime.

You have to understand that the best breeders are not in it for the money, and are not factories. They are not there to maximize profits.

They are actually very close in mindset to the PP who works so hard for rescues!

It makes me sad to see how prejudiced a lot of people are. They wave away all breeders, as if they were all tarred with the same brush. And this scandal about rescues will make some people wave away all rescues, as if they were somehow all guilty. You do realize that these knee-jerk biases are the basis of all racism, xenophobia and intolerance?

Try instead to listen and educate yourself. If something seems simple and easy to dismiss, then chances are the reality is much more complex.
Just as for immigration, tax reform, denuclearization, etc...[/quote]
