Hi All,
While I agree with practically everything Barb Williams says, I must disagree
with her on one point...
"SMALL BREEDS ARE WHERE THE MONEY LIES... COSTS LITTLE TO RAISE THEM AND HOUSE
THEM AND THEY ARE DARLING FOR A LOT LONGER"
In addition to GSDs and CWC we breed and show Brussels Griffons.
It is true that we get more for a puppy than most GSD breeders, however that is
where it ends. The litters are small, usually 1-4 pups, the cost of a C section
is about $700 if it is during regular vet hours and considerably higher in the
middle of the night. Toy breeds can have a high puppy mortality rate due to
birth defects and failure to thrive. They also require more close attention
than herding breeds. It is truly a labor of love!
