Nor did I think that of you!

I was just making a general point that where one person categorizes a cost as
a special cost of breeding, another person will categorize that same cost as
just a cost of dog ownership.  And I unnecessarily belabored the point about
some breeders not thinking of puppy sales as a way to recover costs. So that
which costs any particular breeder expects to recoup, if any, is quite
individual.
