Somebody told me that 1000 euros is not enough... let´s see, if one dog have a litter for ten dogs... its 1000 euros per dog, then it´s 10000. It´s a lot of money.
It´s better for that people that you waste your money with them. That is my opinion.

Is pretty easy when forgething all costs that a breeding dog and litter gave, that's why some people start breeding seing money and give up soon, or continues breeding without take any care for the selection.
The price of the dog will variate according to the costs that the breeder had, and this normally isn't enough to take back all money waste, sometimes isn't enough to continue the breeding for the next year.
Is simply sad a breeder listen that "your litter was made of gold?" or "it's too much money for a dog" when this breder had travel far away for mate the female for bring new blood, when this breeder do some health tests for make this mate, when the breeders put some money in dogshows and working titles traveling and paying all costs that it gives, that all without remember the costs that a litter do for turn official, microchip, vaccination, deworming, pedigree, confirmation, special food for puppies, special feed for pregnant female... and more and more.
You cannot mistake a good serious breeder with breeders that only breeding for money, a serious breeder rarelly get the costs that he had for made the litter back.
