Responsible dog breeders are some of the most caring and committed people I have ever met. Done right, the commitment to learning as much as you can before you start and then gathering wisdom through tough lessons along the way is significant. Investing in, developing, and marketing a program is costly. It's also risky, with things that can go wrong, starting with a missed breeding and ending with potential ICU-level vet bills or even unforeseen loss of pups and/or a momma. Let's be real; it's an emotional roller coaster and physically demanding, even exhausting at times. Time demands and prioritizing over your own wants and needs are challenging. Having complementary administrative skills for paperwork, agreements, financial management, and more is essential, even if you're more of the caring, nurturing personality. Customer service before whelps, while taking care of pups, and even after placement is tough, as some people's expectations can be unrealistic. Not everyone appreciates what we do here; some are critical and angry that we breed dogs to begin with, thinking it's easy money, yeah right. Social media censorship can also cripple a well-done, safe, and conscientious purebred program.
To be clear this isn't a rant post. I think we struggle with the term "professional." It can be mistaken as profit-seeking or puppy mill-ish, but in the right context, it's survival and thriving beyond the challenges listed above.
So, hats off to the excellent breeders out there who are responsible professionals.
