I could care less if a breeder made a profit (and they don't when you count the food costs, medical costs, entry fees for shows/trials, whelping/mom and puppy care costs, grooming costs, training costs, etc.), so long as they breed, raise, and re home responsibly (and don't charge more for "show prospect" puppies or for certain colors... that's a pet peeve of mine).

Now breeders who just have $$ on their mind, another story.
