If you have few dogs and go to Clubshows and Bonitations in other countries, if you work them, give them good food, give them their vaccinations and wormtreatments and vetcare and especially if you look for your mating partners internationally and have to drive some thousand kilometers and stay in a hotel for 1-2 weeks you will find out that 1-2 litters a year won´t earn the money you need for your dogs. Especially if you count the time till you can breed the dog or the times the bitch didn´t get a litter and so on.
If you have a lot of dogs and don´t bother to take foreign studs, never go to bonitations, to clubshows in other countries and all the stuff that helps you to find the best pairings but most puppy-buyers don´t care for, you can earn money with several litters a year. Especially because several breeders out of the country of origin and most puppy-buyers don´t realize what´s going on. You will sooner or later have ugly dogs that don´t fit the standart and depending on the genetic facts of the parents you always use they may have dysplasia quite often, but who cares.
