I think any breeder has to take the chance that they might not be able to sell there pups most breeders dont have there bitch mated unless they have at least 3or 4 good homes waiting .... I think thats a better way of doing things rather than breeding having possibly 8 + pups and selling them to anyone with the money to buy them ... It sounds like youve great back up and am sure they will tell you just wait till your 100% sure you want to do it ... I dont breed but have always wanted too i love having little pups and kittens in and they are hard work but worth it
