Its not a business, Robyn, its a hobby.  Most reputable breeders refer to themselves as hobby breeders.  They breed because they love their breed so much they want to improve it.

  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
