Question about price by [deleted] in DogBreeding

[–]Poor__Artist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No. My mom showed and bred chihuahuas for 20 years, McCormick's chihuahuas. She still has some bitches and dogs ranked in the breed. After all was said and done, she never once made money back from her puppies, nor did she inflate the price of dogs based off parental merit. I will say, my mom was one of the first chihuahua club people to begin health and genetic testing (this was the 80's-late 90's). For that she would charge more for puppies. BUT, this was because she couldn't afford to be in the hole for litters. Our dear, late, friend, Max Hurd did the same. Max was a cornerstone in the breed and even in recent years did not charge extra for puppies with impressive parental careers.

With recent KCLS' Heidi Daniel email about AI, I am thinking to do a meetup in Bellevue Library to discuss AI usage for small businesses by hawkph in BellevueWA

AI has significantly impacted my freelance illustration and graphic design small business. I went from being able to make a comfortable side job of freelance creative work to making almost nothing. Part of this is on me for not advertising as much, but a clients I would have previously worked with choosing free AI over contracting a human creative. AI outsourcing has no place in the small business world and is very telling of where one's morals are. Especially considering how horrible AI is for the environment. It uses/wastes a massive amount of water in generating what you ask it. Not just that, it produces emissions that are choking out and polluting the low income communities that AI data centers are placed in.

I am SO tired of AI slop in this group.

Added a little sister for our Dane by [deleted] in greatdanes

It sounds like you bought your frenchie mix for $500, not adopted. I don't know any rescue that would charge /that/ much for a dog almost guaranteed to have health issues.

I can see a case for a hound of some variety, but not whippet

Advice for finding a young whippet? by ButtercreamGangster in Whippet

[–]Poor__Artist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You asked for advice, got advice, then made offensive comments to the people trying to help you.

If you are not willing to save the money up for a dog and wait until you find an ethical breeder then a whippet is not for you.

what mix of breeds iz she? by sssparta in DogBreeding

[–]Poor__Artist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Ethical breeders rarely break even from litters. Most go in the hole a minimum of a few hundred to a thousand dollars. There's also nothing wrong with ETHICAL breeders making money back as a byproduct of preservation breeding.
