POTENTIAL OWNER: How much is the puppy?
BREEDER:$3,000 USD
POTENTIAL OWNER: What?? It's way too expensive!!
BREEDER: What do you think would be a good price?
POTENTIAL OWNER: No more than $500. You breeders are so over priced.
BREEDER: I am sorry you see it this way, why don't you try it yourself?
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I've never done it!
BREEDER: For FREE I can teach you how to do it, and in addition you will have the knowledge to do it again.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Perfect, thank you!
BREEDER: To start you will need a female (average minimal cost $2000 and up). Also a male (average minimal cost $2000 and up) or semen (average $1700 and up). You will need to do genetic & health testing on them, averages about $750 per dog. Raise and provide daily care and feeding for 2 years before ever producing a litter.
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have that much money...
BREEDER: I have a deal for you...for $500 you can raise a litter for me and then keep one of the puppies. Obviously, you also have to pay the cost of whelping & care.
POTENTIAL OWNER: I can do that.
BREEDER: OK so I have a female due to whelp in 5 weeks. You will need to be available 24/7 around the clock for at least 8 weeks to help with delivery and care. Possibly tube or bottle feed puppies every 2-3 hours if the mom is low on milk the first couple weeks.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Eight weeks?? it's way too much time for me! I have to work.
BREEDER: You may also need the reproductive vet to do xrays ($200-$500), possibly progesterone testing ($75-$250) & a C-section ($2500-$8000) and initial vet care on pups until old enough to be placed. Pups vets exams ($350 and up depending on how many puppies are in the litter).
Have on hand a scale, thermometer, latex gloves, sanitizer, absorbent tissues, scissors, hemostats, heating pad, whelping box, blankets, cleaning supplies, oxygen concentrator, incubator, appropriate food with supplements for mothers, formula, medications & hand feeding supplies in case of emergency....
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have all these things!
BREEDER: For $2500+ you can buy them.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Ummm .... You know, I think it might be better if I just buy a puppy.
BREEDER: Wise decision.

For us breeders there are no vacations or holidays. While you go to visit with family & friends we are home at our dogs side caring for them. No sick leave. It is a no breaks commitment.
THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose a professional, you don't only pay for the puppy but also:
Tools, knowledge, experience, love, time, sacrifices, etc. Well bred dogs are expensive to produce, not many people understand this concept.

When puppies go home and I receive this feedback, it makes my heart full!

I work hard to produce and provide good healthy babies. Knowing that my hard work shows is the reason why I absolutely love being a breeder 😍
