🐾 Do you know how many rejections it costs to be a breeder?

Being a breeder is not just pictures of cute puppies and pride in beautiful dogs.
It is also a whole ocean of rejections that are invisible to someone on the outside.

🕰️ Time? There is no such thing as "free"

You forget about weekends, trips, vacations. At least for a few hours.
You can't go to the movies with newborns lying in the crib.
You can't sleep peacefully at night if the pregnant bitch is worried.
You can't leave the incubator when one puppy is fighting for its life.
There is no "break" in breeding. Every minute counts.

💸 Money? You invest endlessly

💰 Good dogs are expensive - and very expensive.
💰Tests, genetic tests, exhibitions, travel, food, supplements, c-sections, medicines, vaccines,accessories - these are thousands of dollars 💵
💰 Income? Sometimes it just goes away. There isn't any. Sometimes you are left in debt and... with an empty bed.

💔 Emotions? You learn patience and pain

➡️ When a puppy dies in your arms, and you are powerless.
➡️ When a bitch does not give birth, despite your efforts.
➡️ When you have to refuse a person who "only wants one dog", because you see that it will not be a good home.
➡️ When you sacrifice everything - and in return you receive hatred, jealousy and slander.

👩 ⚕️No routine - you are a breeder, but also:

🩺 a nurse/neonatalogist
🍼 foster mother
📖 in genetics
📦 in logistics
📷 a photographer
🧹 a cleaning lady
🧠 a psychologist
💬 advisor to their clients, often for years

👨 👩 👧 👦 family and friends ?? Things can be difficult

- "We can't meet because the bitch is giving birth." ""
- "I won't come because the puppies have diarrhea and I need to guard them." ""
- "No, I won't leave them with anyone. "It's my responsibility."

Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will stay.

❤️ But through it all... it's 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 let you take shortcuts.
Love that makes babies grow up healthy and makes you happy despite being sick,or tired.

🐶 A breeder is not a "puppy person".

This is someone who gives up their OWN comfort for the benefit of animals.
This is someone who doesn't equate love with money.
This is someone who lives between joy and pain, and still wouldn't trade it for anything else.

❤️ Respect passionate breeders. Every day they give everything they can, although no one sees it.

When acquiring animals from breeders with the intention of breeding, it's essential to specify that you're seeking more than just a 'pet-only' arrangement. There's a significant distinction between 'pet-only' and obtaining 'breeding rights.'

Most reputable breeders require you to complete a contract stipulating that you will spay or neuter the puppies between six and nine months of age, either before their first heat or after, depending on your veterinarian's recommendation. These contracts also ensure that you commit to keeping up with all necessary vaccinations and health requirements.

As dedicated breeders, we invest significant effort to ensure our animals are kept safe, healthy, and up-to-date on all vaccinations, deworming, genetic testing, and more. This proactive approach safeguards each potential mate, ensuring they are protected, healthy, and not bred with incompatible patterns, colors, or potential health conditions.

Breeding is not a casual endeavor to be undertaken without comprehensive knowledge of the responsibilities involved in caring for our four-legged family members. It requires extensive research and a deep understanding of animal husbandry.

A responsible and passionate animal breeder dedicates countless hours to research and education. There's a tremendous amount involved in providing the necessary care for these beloved four-legged friends and their offspring.

Therefore, I offer contracts that clearly define the terms of ownership:

* Pet-Only Contracts: Stipulate that the puppies are intended solely as pets and not for breeding purposes.
* Breeding Rights Contracts: Outline the specific conditions and responsibilities associated with breeding rights.
