I don't know what my friend does about her taxes, isn't any of my business but she gets checks that must be deposited into her bank account. I stand by my claim, she rarely breaks even on her pups. She breeds one, maybe two litters a year. The last litter she had 8 pups, she will keep 2 or 3 to grow up and show. 5 were sold on limited registration as pet quality. She feeds Orijen puppy food which is very pricey, ear crops cost $500 + per pup - she uses the best vet on the East Coast. Please don't start a rant about ear crops. She gets mouth xrays of her show pups to check for missing adult teeth. We just got back from cropping - I help with the pups, they are kept meticulously clean. She enters and travels to dog shows at least once a month. She keeps her finished b***h champions until they die, one is 12 1/2 yrs. Breeding age is at least 2 yrs. No breeding less than 1 yr apart and she rarely breeds the same girl more than twice.There are 10 Dobes in her house of varying ages, they all get extra premium food, vet care and the run of her house. Her previous litter the b***h had an injury, she was taken to a university vet hospital and stayed for 10 days. Her bill was $4000+. She delivered 3 pups when 2 of the 3 were sold as pets my friend had twice as much invested as she got back on the sale. For those of you that say you know people who make lots of money selling pups, how does my friends care of her dogs compare to those people?
