Lol... well not quite.. Hobby breeders mean- they are devoted to the breed, test their breeding stock, try to breed within standard- .. Later Hobby breeders become " breed people". There is a big difference from the quality a " hobby breeder" has and a " BYB".. Hobby breeders usually only have a few dogs- nice representatives of the breed, and spend alot of time with the pups- and the pups stay longer with them as well. They understand having the pups socialized by litter mates etc. By the time she picks her puppy, her puppy will be passed all but one fear period ( the one that occurs about 6 months old) I would say that was dedication as well. Even our breed doesnt let the pups go until 16 weeks because of leg injuries that are common, and to socialize with litter mates.
Hardly the " same products.." but I did like your analogy. .. Made me giggle as yard/garage sales are abundant in the valley..
