I have realized that those breeds I love so much is being
destroyed by breeders who are breeding for the masses
(puppy mills), and I am seeing an increasing trend of people
breeding their pets for a quick buck.
As the breed continues to grow in popularity there are
always going to be millers and backyard breeders who
will continue producing sub-quality pets and there are
always going to be those who are not screened by those
breeders and who are looking for a cheap female to breed
down the road so that they can continue this vicious
cycle of irresponsible breeding.
If you are looking for a cheap $300-$500 puppy (because
that is what you see in the Sunday paper), please do not
email me as the people on my list do not breed to those
sub-standard practices. Breeding French Bulldogs and pugs
is nothing to play around with. They should be carefully
selected for breeding based on soundness, temperament,
and conformation. Most people tell that they are just
looking for a companion, not a show dog. Reputable
breeders for the most part are breeding Frenchies and
pugs that look like Frenchies and pugs, act like Frenchies
and Pugs and are healthy as Frenchies and Pugs should be.
There is nothing CHEAP. A cheap puppy will end up costing
3-4 times more that a well bred puppy.
Good breeding pays....Puppies from reputable breeders do
cost 2-3 times that in which you may find from the newspaper,
on-line brokers, back yard breeders, and puppy mills.
Do you know why? We spend a lot of dollars to get a
quality litter of puppies on the ground. With the cost of
Genetic testing, Obtaining Championships to prove your
stock is worthy of breeding, stud fees, AI, C-sections,
ultra sounds and x-rays, supplements etc. we can't afford
to sell the 1 or 2 puppies from the litter for $500, it is just
not possible. Please remember that REPUTABLE BREEDERS
sell their companion puppies on spay/neuter contracts.
