Respectfully written by another breeder friend and edited by us 🫶🏻
We really want everyone to understand what it takes to be a breeder physically, financially and mentally
Pay per puppy for 8 weeks
*Dna & Akc $220
*Shots $18 x 2 = $36.
*Worm med approx $12 per puppy
*Simple puppy package $50.
*Lots of laundry soap and cleaning products $100. Per month =$200.
*Vet check up $165 on low end
*Food $100.
*Office supplies, gas, electricity, ect $100. Per pup per month. = $200-1200
*24/7 care = 720-mentally exhausting hours, monthly give or take depending on months. If I pay myself $2 hour. = $2880 for 2 months (8 weeks, that's if pups go to new homes at this time)
Comes to already $3849. Minimum out our pocket .
We have not even included taxes, business and kennel license. The love and attention, litter box training, C section, breeding supplies, and a whole bunch other stuff that we do and pay for ourselves.
This is not free money, it’s not free time, nor is it vacation time because you have a litter. It cost us a lot of money to even get breeding quality foundation line going. When we’re not having litters our dogs don’t just go on the shelf. They are 24 hour care, love and attention.
The moral of the story stop begging breeders for discounts. We put our heart and soul into our programs. If you’re on a budget, do what we did........save up -
French Bulldogs have one of the lowest survival ratios in puppy litters.
We also made the commitment to our hero’s to provide one free puppy per litter- no matter the circumstances just like they keep us safe and secure no matter the circumstances.
PS. the costs don’t stop when you purchase the pup - they are real family members and they will continue to have needs as they grow.
