Because I'm a breeder and she's AKC registered which means each of her puppies are at least $2000 each and she can have at least 3-5 per litter and the male I also breed with my pug (who isnt here) and those are $800 each....
You're not going to like what I'm going to say, Nan, but remember that I've been involved with animals since I was 6, which means nearly 40 years. I know a thing or two about trying to make money off critters. And all I can say is "let me know how that works out for you." Because what you
usually end up doing is going from pet store to pet store, hoping somebody will take something, because no pet store wants more than one of any breed taking up their cubicles.
It's different if the dogs are show champs, then you get industry people that preorder (best case scenario, you have a male that has gotten his points and you just charge for stud fees or use him for artificial insemination). But just because they have papers? Honestly, I can adopt a pedigreed anything from breed specific shelters. And the shelters are already bursting at the seams in this economy.
Just assuming everything goes all right with the pregnancy and birth, then you need to get all the little buggers vetted and inoculated and that runs up right quick. Nine times out of ten if people have half a brain in their head they insist on testing for genetic/skeletal defects, again, money (and Frenchies and pugs have truckloads of known latent health issues to begin with). If the dog has health problems you
might have known about the new owners can very well haul your ass to courts to cover those charges or just return the dog for a full refund (especially if you've signed some sort of health guarantee). And really, you only have a very, very narrow window of time in which to get rid of them. Before you know it, you're stuck with a bunch of pedigreed
dogs who nobody wants, because they have no training, no manners and they're too OLD. People are only willing to pay good money for puppies.
Backyard breeders just usually create animals with psychological and/or health conditions and contribute to existing overpopulation. Besides, it is virtually impossible to make a reliable profit off anything that eats, shits, and needs to see a vet. It's like trying to make a profit off children, honestly.
