If a person has to charge for the price of the parents, the raising of the litter, the feeding of the parents. Then it sound the person is in it for the money not the raising of a proper litter.
Where does charging for raising and whelping come into play?
Is the momma dog not raising and whelping?
Did she die after birth to where a person has to do all the feeding and care taking of the pups?
But Myles is correct in his math and ways of thinking and took me a while to come to a similar conclusion. But to each their own.
Purchase price for Dam and Sire.......Why would I want to put that expense off in someone else? My choice to buy them.
Cost for health testing Sire and Dam.......Do they stay sick?
Cost for feeding Dam...........If your not raising pups from her does she eat for free?
Cost if vet bills from Dam........Again why are they always at the vet?
Cost of working /proving Dam........Is this a chore and inconvenience for you to do this?
Cost of whelping a litter .........Already defined above........Paying for your time? Again is this a chore for anyone?
Cost of vet checking pups ..........What's wrong with them? If they are sick, weak, or deformed .....knock them in the head and start figuring out where it came from.
Sooooo basically we are back to around $16.50 a pup?
So how is $100 to $200 a pup not a fair asking price? Again maybe I am throwed off! Haha
Good convo boys!
Again, will hav to agree with ya.
