Good for you! Don't you just love having that new life around you!
A few years back, I bit off a big chunk - built an enclosed building with heat and AC, fenced around it and paved part, bought 2 pairs of shih tzus, 1 pair of bichons, and 1 pair of yorkies (all as pups). The bichons had one litter that hadn't sold at 4mo, so I gave the 4 pups and parents away. The shih tzus were awesome sellers, but with having a day job, I just couldn't keep up. Between all the dogs, I had 17 pups at one time. So, a friend of mine took the shih tzus. It was hard to let the shih tzus go, but I do get to visit them and hear about them all the time, so it's much better.
Now, I just have my 3 adult yorkies and the 5# (spayed) shih tzu. Since I am hoping to retire in 380 days, I am adding to my yorkies. I'm getting a second adult male this weekend and am looking for a female. I'm also getting a 6mo maltese girl this weekend, but will have her spayed.
For me, it's not about the money - I love having my doggies to care for and I dearly love seeing the pleasure on the new owners face when they get that first puppy lick/kiss.
