Costs of breeding

"It is people like you that are supporting puppymills trying to save some Euros.
Nebulosa is absolutely right. If you do it properly you raise the bitch yourself, what means you only pay into it for 2-3 years, you spend a lot of time and traveling for finding a good one, you do several exhibitions, bonitations, endurance runs and health tests. Then you spend a lot of time and traveling to find a good stud dog, you take the risk of the bitch not getting pregnant. You spend an extremly high amount of time for several month on puppies, visitors and socialisation. You have to pay for stud fees, good puppy food, several dewormings and vaccination and microchips, the pedigrees, the official controle of the kennel and the puppies. If your kennel isn´t well known now it is very likely you have to keep some puppies for quite a long time as long as you aren´t so irresponsible to give them cheaper to anybody no matter how good the place is. To build up a good reputation you have to spend a lot of time and money and traveling.
If somebody complaines about our prices that is the end of the conversation about buying a puppy, I value my puppies much too high to sell them at any price to somebody who doesn´t value their real worth.

Ina"

I agree also those words.
