Making Money as a Breeder

2009-08-21

When asked the question “Is it possible to make money as a breeder?” most experienced breeders would answer yes. However, when asked, “Is it likely to make money as a breeder?” the resounding answer is no. This is especially true of the breeder is responsible and puts the best interest of the dogs and bitches in the breeding program as well as the puppies as the top priority in the breeding process. However, that being said the answer to the original question is that there can be money made as a breeder. This article will discuss some of the financial considerations for breeders and will provide insight regarding how a breeder can profit from a litter.

Profiting from a breeding is not always possible. This is because there are a number of fees associated with a standard breeding with no complications. These fees include stud fees, fees for health certifications, pre-natal care for the bitch and the costs associated with caring for and feeding the puppies until they are sold. Any type of complication such as the need for artificial insemination or a c-section can dramatically increase the cost of the breeding and eat away at any potential profit. Even a litter that is smaller than anticipated can diminish the potential for profits. The breeder may have expected a large litter but if only one or two puppies are delivered the breeder simply cannot justify charging enough to cover the costs of the breeding and may not only not profit from the breeding but will likely even lose money.

Medications, a quick fix solution, are the most common way out of panic attacks. They are, for sure, not the ultimate solution to all behavioral dysfunction and many people have become well without the aid of them. Nonetheless, they are still being prescribed for two reasons—because they work and because they are convenient.

But can people with panic attacks truly live normally without the medications? For those who believe in their capacity to help themselves intro treatment other than taking pills and tablets, they can. Sadly for those who are used to the idea of resorting to meds for cure, it may be a bit hard not to take them.

People who depend too heavily on medication for the alleviation of panic attack symptoms know for a fact that dependence will ultimately occur. Along with the possibility that they will not get cured of their behavioral condition, they also will create another problem for themselves—how to recover from dependence on the medication? This truth is perhaps further exacerbated by the fact that panic attack medications are not the typical over the counter drugs that one could easily get over with.

Oftentimes, these drugs (e.g. valium and antidepressants) are meant to cure serious cases of mental disorders.
