There’s something that doesn’t pass the smell test here, and it’s not the marijuana I’m talking about. Pet breeders are in the business of breeding their particular breed of cat or dog because they love the breed and want to produce offspring featuring the best qualities of both parents—not just to make money. As a matter of fact, most breeders who do it right don’t make money or don’t make much. For these women to insist on dealing with cash instead of credit cards or checks is highly suspicious-—like they didn’t want to be traceable. That they chose a breed commonly used in dogfighting is another red checkmark. So I think they were trying to open a dogfighting facility or breed dogs to fight. There are so many pitbulls and American bullies in shelters; why would they want to create more in a wholesale fashion?
You are exactly right. Breeding cats and dogs (correctly and responsibly) is usually a losing proposition. Your ‘profit’ is satisfaction - and possible kudos.
