It will be cheaper in the long run in most cases. When I was a wife my x and I bred and showed bullmastiff's... Your def. right about the vet part... Lol, sorry, can't see avatars very well on the phone because I zoom in unless, you didn't have one when I posted...either way making excuses. hahaWatched a young couple I know breed a Boston Terrier. They were shocked it had to have a C-section, then shocked about the price, then shocked they only had two living pups to sell... I sound like a flaming ass to many people I'm sure but, some folks just won't listen when it comes to breeding and the responsibilities it carries. Not to mention spreading bad genes around because they just want 100% of the profit from pups instead of spending a couple hundred bucks to test the parents for problems common to the breeds.

Two breedings a year? That is sick greed, puppy mill stuff. I also know a lady who did breed her Chessies responsibly with the proper testing etc, had four litters. As soon as the dog that gave all her life to the gal couldn't have any more litters she gave it away? WTF is wrong with people?
I know of some folks who've paid HUGE money to get Spinone's from Italy. I probably would have rather gotten a pointing lab. lol and ate dinner at the Met once a month for the rest of my life for the money.
I love this... And agree with alot of whats been said.. In the 9 years I showed bully's my bitch had 2 liters. that was it! Few in the 1st and 1 in the second. Still have the pup from the second breeding.
Labs are probably the only dogs you can get for a "bargain" which are not a backyard unknown.
