large breeding operations (mostly dominated by Marshall Farms), and a lot of
hobby breeders. The ferrets from hobby breeders tend to are healthier and
live longer with fewer health related problems than from the large breeders.
Generally the small breeders are not in it for the money, but rather for the
love of the animals.

Just curious: If good breeders are always taking a loss on their litters,
how does a good breeder stay in business?

My opinions are based on facts, of course Bill. Having a phone conversation
with the breeder doesn't make them a good breeder who is doing the proper
health care checks. A breeder who sells to a pet store is motivated by
money. A good breeder doesnt' make money off of their litters. A good
breeder spends more money on proper veterinary care for their litters than
they make selling the litter. A good breeder wants to know where each and
every dog that they create goes, and get a guarantee that the dog will go
back to them should something happen and the home be unsuitable. Your dogs
breeder doesn't care what happens to it after it enters the pet store, or
else it wouldn't be there.
If you are actually interested I can find you many websites that will
explain to you why buying from a pet store isn't a good idea
