🐾🩷 THE DIARY OF A SLIGHTLY UNHINGED DOG BREEDER 🩷🐾
ENTRY #1: I SELL EXPENSIVE PUPPIES… SO WHY AM I STILL BROKE?! 💸🐶
Confessions from K’s Precious Pups
There is a special breed of people walking around this earth who genuinely believe dog breeders are secretly millionaires.
And bless their hearts… they are usually the same people who think a female dog gets pregnant, pops out six puppies, and we just sit on the couch collecting money while eating bonbons. 😂
“You get $2,500 for ONE puppy?! And she had FIVE?! Girl, you just made $12,500!”
YES, KAREN. AND I SUPPOSE THE ELECTRIC COMPANY JUST ACCEPTS PUPPY KISSES AS PAYMENT?!
Let me explain a little something called BREEDER MATH.
It’s a magical financial system where you can sell thousands of dollars worth of puppies and somehow still be standing in the dog food aisle at Walmart debating whether you can afford a Dr Pepper for yourself.
Let’s start with the momma dog.
First, I had to BUY her.
And because I apparently have ch*****ne taste and a dog breeder’s bank account, I didn’t just buy any dog.
Nooooo.
I needed the PRETTY one.
The one with the perfect little face, beautiful coat, good pedigree, health testing, and genetics that make my breeder brain start planning puppies that don’t even exist yet.
So there goes a couple thousand dollars.
Then I raise her.
Feed her.
Vaccinate her.
Health test her.
Groom her.
Buy her a cute little bed.
Which she refuses to sleep in because apparently my $80 pillow is more comfortable.
And just when I think I’ve got enough dogs…
I SEE ANOTHER CHOCOLATE DAPPLE DACHSHUND OR EXOTIC YORKIE.
Suddenly I’m texting somebody:
“What’s your best price on her?”
SOMEBODY TAKE MY PHONE AWAY. 😭
Now let’s talk about the daddy.
Because apparently I can’t just find a handsome male dog and call it a day.
OH NO.
I’ve got to study pedigrees, DNA results, colors, coat types, health, structure, and what colors of puppies they MIGHT produce.
I’m sitting at my kitchen table at midnight doing genetic calculations like I’m trying to solve a NASA equation.
“Okay, so if she’s chocolate merle and he’s black and tan but carries parti…”
Meanwhile, my children are probably wondering why their mother knows more about dog DNA than eighth-grade algebra.
And after all that research?
I decide I need ANOTHER STUD DOG.
Because obviously the solution to having too many dogs is buying one more.
BREEDER LOGIC. DON’T QUESTION IT. 🤦♀️
Now it’s breeding time.
And suddenly I become a professional dog stalker.
“Is she in heat?”
“Is she ready?”
“Did they tie?”
“Was that a successful breeding?”
I’m checking dates, counting days, watching behavior, and maintaining a calendar that looks like I’m coordinating a military operation.
Then comes the pregnancy ultrasound.
Now, I’ve got an ultrasound machine.
Does that mean I know exactly what I’m looking at?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. 😂
There I am, staring at a screen that looks like somebody spilled milk on an old television.
“THERE’S A PUPPY!”
Wait.
“IS THAT TWO?!”
Nope.
That’s probably her bladder.
“I THINK I SEE FIVE!”
Congratulations. She has three.
But you better believe I’m going to look again tomorrow because maybe those other two are hiding.
Now let’s fast-forward to delivery day.
You know when dogs prefer to have puppies?
NOT DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.
Nope.
They wait until 2:43 in the morning.
Preferably when you’ve finally fallen asleep.
And preferably when you have something important to do at 7 a.m.
Suddenly I’m sitting on the floor in my pajamas, hair looking like I’ve been electrocuted, holding a towel and saying:
“Come on, momma. You got this, baby.”
Meanwhile, I’m running on three hours of sleep, half a Dr Pepper, and the grace of God.
And heaven forbid there’s a complication.
Because nothing says GOOD MORNING like an emergency vet bill that costs more than my car payment.
But you pay it.
Every. Single. Time.
Because those babies and their momma are depending on you. ❤️
Now the puppies are here!
LET THE MONEY START ROLLING IN!
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
That’s cute.
Now I’ve become a 24-hour maternity nurse, housekeeper, cafeteria worker, laundry attendant, and professional p**p inspector.
And NONE of these positions come with benefits.
I’m weighing puppies.
Checking puppies.
Cleaning puppies.
Watching momma.
Changing bedding.
Washing towels.
And Googling things at 3 a.m. that would probably get me put on some kind of government watch list.
Then they turn four or five weeks old.
And suddenly those sweet, innocent little angels become SIX TINY FELONS WITH NO RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY.
The Dachshunds are digging.
The Chihuahuas are screaming.
The Yorkies are plotting an escape.
One puppy is standing in the food bowl.
Another is chewing somebody’s ear.
And there’s ALWAYS one who manages to p**p approximately three seconds after I’ve finished cleaning the pen.
I look at them and say:
“Y’all are the reason Mommy can’t have nice things.”
They wag their tails.
Criminals. Every last one of them.
Now comes the fun part.
PUPPY BUYERS. 📱
And listen, I LOVE my puppy families.
Most of them are absolutely wonderful.
But every breeder knows there’s a special category of messages that will test your relationship with Jesus.
MESSAGE #1:
“How much?”
Me: “$2,500.”
Them: “Will you take $300 cash today?”
SIR.
WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING TO TAKE?
CHICKEN NUGGETS?!
And why are you acting like cash is some rare form of payment I have never encountered before?!
MESSAGE #2:
“I can get one cheaper somewhere else.”
THEN BABY, GO GET IT. 😂
I’m not Walmart.
I don’t price match.
And I certainly don’t have a clearance rack of Dachshunds in the back.
MESSAGE #3:
“Can you do a discount if I buy two?”
Ma’am.
These are living, breathing puppies.
Not Bath & Body Works candles.
There is no BUY THREE, GET THREE FREE sale happening at K’s Precious Pups.
MESSAGE #4:
“Why are your puppies so expensive?”
Well, let’s see.
The parents cost money.
Health testing costs money.
Veterinary care costs money.
Food costs money.
Vaccinations cost money.
Microchips cost money.
Registration costs money.
Grooming costs money.
Electricity costs money.
Cleaning supplies cost money.
And apparently the 47 loads of laundry I do every week aren’t going to wash themselves.
But sure.
Let’s pretend I found these puppies growing on a tree behind my house. 🌳🐶
And then comes my FAVORITE.
“Are they potty trained?”
Ma’am.
He is eight weeks old.
Yesterday he tried to eat his own foot.
We’re still working on the basics.
Now let’s talk about the puppies I decide to KEEP.
Because this is where my financial planning completely leaves the building.
I have a beautiful litter.
I tell myself:
“Okay, we’re going to sell all these puppies and put that money back into the business.”
Then ONE puppy looks at me.
Just LOOKS at me.
With those big little eyes.
And suddenly I’m saying:
“Well… I think I’m going to keep this one.”
THERE GOES THE PROFIT.
And six months later I’m buying another dog because I need a male to go with the female I kept.
IT IS A NEVER-ENDING CYCLE OF SELF-INFLICTED FINANCIAL DECISIONS.
Now, according to Facebook mathematicians, here’s how my business works:
🐶 5 puppies × $2,500 = $12,500
WOW! I’M RICH!
Except…
💸 I bought the parents.
💸 I paid for health testing.
💸 I paid for breeding expenses.
💸 I paid the veterinarian.
💸 I bought food, vitamins, supplies, and equipment.
💸 I paid for vaccines and microchips.
💸 I replaced everything the puppies destroyed.
💸 I kept the prettiest puppy.
💸 And then I bought another dog.
FINAL PROFIT: $14.72, THREE LOADS OF DIRTY LAUNDRY, AND A HALF-EMPTY DR PEPPER.
And somehow…
After all the sleepless nights…
After the vet bills…
After the puppy p**p…
After the endless cleaning…
After telling myself for the 97th time that I’m NOT buying another dog…
I’ll be sitting on the floor surrounded by puppies, watching their little tails wag, and thinking:
“You know what? I absolutely love this life.” 🩷
Because at the end of the day, these dogs aren’t just dollar signs.
They’re my babies.
They’re hours of planning, years of dedication, hard work, worry, excitement, heartbreak, and a whole lot of love.
And there’s nothing quite like seeing one of those precious little puppies go home to a family who’s going to love it forever.
But if you see me looking at another breeding dog for sale…
PLEASE.
MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
I’M BUILDING AN EMPIRE. 😂👑🐾

Where the puppies are spoiled, the breeder is sleep-deprived, and the profit is apparently somewhere in the dog food bags.
