That's right, who would know better than me...But I wouldnt want to do anything else
🐾❤️ Do you actually know how much deprivation it costs to be a breeder?
Being a breeder is not all about cute puppy photos and pride in beautiful dogs.
It is also a huge sea of abandonment - silent and often invisible to outsiders.
🕰️ Time? There is no such thing as "free".
Weekends, trips, vacations - forget it. Even a few hours away is a luxury.
You don't go to the movies when newborns are in the litter box.
You don't sleep soundly when a pregnant dog is restless.
You don't leave the litter box when a puppy is fighting for survival.
Breeding doesn't have a break - every minute counts here.
💸 Money ? A never ending investment.
💰 Good dogs come with a price – and it's high.
💰 Health tests, genetic tests, exhibitions, travel, food, supplement, C-section, medication, supplies - it all costs thousands.
💰 Income? Sometimes no one is there. Sometimes all that remains is an empty account – or even debt.
💔 Emotions? Patience is learned. And you learn to endure pain.
➡️ When a puppy dies in your hands - and you can't do anything else.
➡️ When, despite all efforts, a dog does not carry her puppies.
➡️ When you have to cancel someone who "just wants a dog" - because you feel it wouldn't be a good home.
➡️ When you give everything - and reap rejection, envy or slander in return.
Routine? It doesn't exist. You're not just a breeder, you're also:

👨 👩 👧 👦 family & friends ? This gets tough at times.
- "We can't meet, my dog is having her puppies. “
- "I'm not coming - the little ones have diarrhea, I have to stay with them." “
- "No, I'm not giving her up - that's my responsibility. “
Not everyone understands this. And not everyone stays.
❤️ But in spite of everything - love remains.
The love for animals, for their life, for their development.
Love that makes you get up ten times a night.
The love that stops you from taking short cuts.
The love that exhausts you but makes you happy at the same time - seeing how healthy your little ones grow up.
🐶 A breeder is not a "puppy salesman".
A breeder is someone who subordinates his own comfort to the welfare of the animals.
Love does not count on money.
The one who lives between happiness and pain – and yet would not trade his life for anyone else.
❤️ Respect passionate breeders. They give it their all every day - even when hardly anyone sees it. ❤️
