For all breeders ..past pup families ❤️
And future families ….
HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who sends a text to just ask for the price. The person who calls and hears the price and says “I can buy a cheaper puppy somewhere else”. I'll talk to you too; the person who doesn't care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a pet”.
Behind every purebred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I use capital letters to distinguish a breeder from an animal factory or puppy mill. A serious reputable breeder does not breed dogs without documents that protect the integrity of the breed.
Registration papers are records of ancestry documenting the bloodline and enabling you to investigate your dogs lineage.
When you tell a breeder you don't care about the papers, just tell them you don't care about the puppies health or lineage, you just want the cheapest thing you can find!
If you choose to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for every puppy's health.
This breeder will skip vacation, miss sleep, and most of their personal home space has been transformed into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder, who loves what they breed, puts all of their time into it. Not only for puppies that are sold, but also for every customer who owns a piece of their heart and is now a member of their large family. Breeders worry about their babies after leaving and will take them back without question.
A reputable breeder will get his hands dirty, often covered in everything that comes with birth. Because that's what life is all about... in the midst of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps spinning. A breeder conducts health tests, echoes, x-rays, analytics, emergency c-sections, vaccinations, registrations, research pedigrees, deworming, and microchips of their puppies.
Last but not least, a reputable breeder CHOOSES the family who is lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read correctly.
A real breeder chooses who they sell to.
There really is no compensation that can offset the investment a breeder has made.
A good breeder has other criteria for those who want to continue their bloodline, why? Because breeding isn't a responsibility to take lightly, it's a lifestyle choice reserved ONLY for the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Since a dog is never “just a pet” he/she is the legacy of the breeder, a little boy's best friend, a protector of a little girl, therapy for the elderly, a member of the family, someone's whole world!
Responsible breeding and possession of several dogs is a lifestyle and commitment many cannot understand.
7 days a week and 365 days a year our lives revolve around the dogs! Day in Day out.
