thanks and i might get a 1000gal pond after i breed my dog and sell the pups i really hope i make enough money

We breed chinese crested hairless, what kind of dog do you have that you are looking to breed?

I do not know what the costs are in your area, but, here you are looking at roughly 150-250 in outlay costs from the beginning to make sure the puppies have the proper shots etc... Then there is also the matter of pedigree which really depends on the breed.

I would hope that you are not taking one breed and mixing it with another because that is not really a cool thing. I call that the bull dog/****zu principle.

I also believe that a dog should not be seen only as a breeding machine.

If done responsibly go for it, because yes there is money to be made. Yet, please do not simply see your dog as a way to make money.

I did not say that. Though that holds true for my first 26 years in the hobby, including (and especially) at a young age. I remember trading my first fish, and I've traded some more specimen since. In general, though, I am true to my roots and only get what species I can house. Some people like variety, others like ultimate dedication. To each his own.

Generally your true to your roots, but obviously there was reason or not that you choose to get rid of your fish. Now wether that was planned or cause of an unpredictable circumstance, I sure neither was considered on your part when you acquired the fish. As I said before with only two choices the poll you can't accurately vote. I guess unless your just generally speaking.

Sad part is how many fish keepers here are keeping there fish for life in sub par conditions.

How do you figure so many are keeping their fish in subpar conditions?
