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 bitch 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…
And then 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
• Training
• Nutrition
• Veterinarian
• Care and hygiene
• Photoshoots, advertising, website
• Pounds of food and mountains of poop!!🙈
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?
You almost never see 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.
And 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 puppies that still need a home.
🥰 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.♥️🥰♥️
