overheard a conversation whilst having a swift half in the public house earlier, a young lady explaining to her friend how her father hasnt worked for years, instead he has 2 neopolitan mastif bitches and a dog, to produce litters of up to 15 each, selling (so she said) for between 700 and a 1000 each.
if this is accurate, thats one hell of an income. i thought of all that has been said about this on here and i can see that with returns like that its going to be fighting an uphill battle to stop puppy farming. scary stuff.

I don't even have the words right now, but I will later try to say why this is just so wrong.

:rant: don't get me started!! :rant: it shouldn't be a yearly income if the dogs were bred correctly instead of being used as machines!!! :rant:

:rant: :rant: Just what gets us occasional breeders a bad name.....it is hard going mind but not that hard going :rant:

thats like 30k plus a year. i didnt realise the profits to be had, i bet hes on the sick as well..... ;) ;D

:o wrong on so many levels.
having said that, I dished out £150 for s-murphy who's a bitsa. Maybe in 4 months a puppy costs a lot with jabs? but I think not..
thing with people like that is they'll get greedier and bang out more and more litters each year. more often than not. poor dogs.

Thats just awful. :rant: :rant: :rant: There are so many mastiffs in rescue, abandoned, in pounds being put to sleep because no-one claims them its just a massive problem.

Not sure how much those breeds go for but I wouldn't be at all surprised if those figures are correct.
Just look how much these first cross ..... fashionable things .... go for these days. ??? I don't get it. IF you don't have a problem about doing it, which many don't, then it's a nice bit of pocket money isn't it? >:( And people do buy them ::) ???
