Exactly! My bitch that I campaigned, took to Eukanuba in CA, Westminster, etc had 1 litter. Three of the bitches from that litter got their Ch, among other titles. None of them will be bred. I had two contracts for the puppies, one for pet homes and one for show/performance homes. Show bitches I co-own and had to approve of any breedings were they to happen. Pet homes had a spay/neuter requirement. And all homes require regular communication as to the well being of the animal. If someone contacted me and I didn’t like them, so didn’t want to have long term regular communication with them they didn’t get a puppy. And all my puppies, out of a 10 puppy litter were spoken for before they whelped. And oh the money and time I spent through the whole process: cardiac clearance, cone degenration clearance, hips, elbows, thyroid, etc etc. And thanfully my bitch was a great mother! Puppies sold for $1k each and I did not make any profit. It’s a real shame what some people do with the bitches they breed.
You totally rock.
