Meet Bella, she is a 4 year old registered lab. Very smart, laid back, just wants to be loved on all the time. She does not fit our breeding program, she has been with numerous studs and has not produced pups. She will make a great family dog/companion. No hunting experience. If you are interested in her, please contact me and we can discuss the rehoming fee. She is not Free...

WHAT A BREEDER NEVER SAYS OUT LOUD!!!

🐾 People often think that a breeder lives among perfect dogs, but they forget everything that goes into bringing these little miracles into the world. Photos are sweet, but the reality is intense and demanding.

🐾 Every birth is a lottery. You can prepare, plan, and study everything… but not a single delivery goes exactly as hoped. Every time it feels like the first time, even after years of experience.

🐾 Death is our greatest enemy. A mama who develops complications, a puppy that doesn't make it. It happens unexpectedly and breaks your heart every time.

🐾 Using a good stud dog costs money and effort.
Travel expenses, matings, tests, nighttime care…

🐾 Hoping that everything goes well: diarrhea, infections, stunted growth. Breeding is an investment: financial, emotional, and physical.

🐾 Bottle feeding? Cute, yes… for the first five minutes. But after that, feeding every 2–3 hours, day and night, for weeks. That is pure survival mode, with a whole lot of energy as salvation.

🐾 People often view puppies as “business”: Number of puppies × price = profit!

But they forget the:
• Health & Genetic testing
• Matings
• Show
• Training
• Nutrition
• Veterinarian
• Care and hygiene
• Photoshoots, advertising, website
• Pounds and pounds of food and mountains of p**p!!

What is left? Rarely a gold bar. Let alone a decent hourly wage 😁

🐾 Sleepless nights are inevitable. No weekends, no vacation, no break.

🐾 Who really raises the puppies? The bitch… AND the breeder. Every small infection can threaten an entire litter.

🐾 And the question “Why is it so expensive?” If we got a dollar for every time…the dogs would be eating caviar instead of kibble or meat.

🐾 Future owners always make us worried. A puppy isn't a package you just send off. We choose adopters carefully; sometimes we refuse, sometimes we wait longer.

🐾 Emotional fatigue? We almost never talk about that. The pressure, the responsibility, watching over every detail…and the loneliness during an emergency.

🐾 Sometimes we want to quit…after loss, after setbacks, after exhaustion. Then a pup opens its little eyes… and everything starts all over again.
It is a passion that never lets you go!

🐾 The grief of loss…we rarely talk about that. But with every farewell, a piece of us dies with them. Yet we rise again, for the families still waiting for a puppy.

🐾 Yes, there are beautiful moments. Yes, there is immense joy. But behind every experienced breeder lies a path full of sleepless nights, tears…and an unconditional love for these special animals.♥️🥰♥️
