Shared from another breeder....

I didn't write this, i am sharing this from another reputable breeder, because no spoken words have been more true
Posted from another breeder friend.
HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email or a text out of nowhere to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisingly states: “I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”. I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a pet”!
Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill. A reputable breeder breeds dogs to protect the integrity of the breed. Doing this greatly increases the chances you're adding a healthy, happy family member to your "pack" when you buy from a BREEDER. Sure, you can buy a puppy for less when someone tossed two dogs together without much thought to it besides they both look like the same breed, but what's missing is the legacy and intent behind a well bred dog, the generations of careful selection and temperament evaluation that up the odds in your favor of a healthy puppy.
When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime. This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs .
The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family.
This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.
A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning.
A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c sections, vaccinations, research pedigrees, de-worm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.
Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit.
Many times saying more no’s then yes...A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!

How wonderful that so many Happy Trails Family members come back again and again for another HT pup!! Waiting just the right amount of time to have the older pup trained and a good citizen to then bring in a protégé!!
