I totally disagree with you, Pavel. Breeding puppies is not "production", at least for me. If I have puppies, I have them for fun and not for my own profit. There are certainly easier ways how to make money, than to run around puppies for several weeks.
Also, I was never selling puppies for high prices, though I keep contact with all my puppy owners all the time. I do care where my puppies go and I do care, to who I am selling.
Comming to western Europe, maybe you would be surprised to find out, how many people here breed puppies and sell them for high prices, and do not care at all, where they go and how they do ... Not to mention that the quality of the puppies and their parents is often not so great either, but who cares about it? That I call the production.
