LizT Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Sitting in the waiting room of my Vets and a women siting nearby with her dog asks me what breed the 6 week old pups I have in the crate are. I respond with "They are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels." Her reply..."Is there much money in them then?" After my initial surprise at being asked such a question my reply was... Well Yes, they have cost me quite a bit so far.. Stud fee Dams health tests and Vet bills, scans etc. Post Natal checks Microchipping Eye Examinations Vaccinations and health examinations Worming Feeding care etc. ...and I still have the Registration papers to pay for. "Oh", was her response. "So you don't make much money out of it then?" No, I'm doing it to try to produce sound healthy puppies and I'm proud to say that these little girls have passed their checks with flying colours.

Christina Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Fair takes your breath doesn't it. A recent puppy enquirer said to me that her teenage daughter said she would like to breed the puppy & she supposed there was a lot of money to be made. Before I could reply that she was on the phone to the wrong person she said she couldn't be bothered & just wanted a pet to spoil & desexed was good. As I spend $300 per puppy at the vets + all the other expenses involved I am really rolling in it, not. They must think you churn out pups every few months, everything goes perfect, big litters & they cost nothing. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
