🐾 Do you know how many waivers it costs to be a breeder?
Being a breeder is not just pictures of cute puppies and pride in beautiful dogs.
It's also an entire ocean of denials, that are invisible to someone on the outside.
🕰️ Time? There is no such thing as "free"
You forget about weekends, trips, vacations. If only for a few hours.
You can't go to the movies with newborns lying in the crib.
You can't sleep soundly at night if a pregnant bitch is worried.
You won’t leave the incubator when one puppy is fighting for his life.
There is no "break" in breeding. Every minute counts here.
💸 Money ? You invest endlessly
💰 Good dogs cost a lot — and it’s a lot.
💰 Tests, genetic tests, exhibitions, travel, food, supplements, caesareans, medicines, accessories - these are thousands of PLN.
💰 Income? Sometimes he's just gone. Occasionally you are left in debt and... with an empty bed.
💔 Emotions? You learn patience and pain
➡️ When the puppy dies in your hands and you are powerless.
➡️ When a bitch doesn't give birth despite your efforts.
➡️ When you have to say no to a person who "just wants one dog" because you see that it won't be a good home.
➡️ When you sacrifice everything - and in return you receive hate, jealousy and slander.
👩 ⚕️ Lack of routine - you are a breeder, but also:
🩺 as a nurse
🍼 foster mother
📖 by genetics
📦 by logistics
📷 by the photographer
🧹 with the cleaner
🧠 by a psychologist
💬 an advisor for her clients, often for years
👨 👩 👧 👦 family and friends ?? Things can be tough
- "We can't meet because a bitch is giving birth." ”
- "I won't come because the puppies have diarrhea and I need to guard." ”
- "No, I'm not leaving them with anyone." It's my responsibility. ”
Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will stay.
❤️ But through it all... is love
Love for animals, for their lives, for the development of the breed.
Love that makes you get up 10 times a night.
Love that doesn't allow you to be shortcuts.
Love that makes
