When you sell dogs for a living, money comes first.
That said, I have turned down $$$ from people I knew were pure scum, but have sold dogs to all kinds of dogmen: from total beginners to some of the winningest kennels out there. Almost none of them can keep a dog alive for life, no matter who they are. But a few have. Any already good dogman who gets dogs from me uses them for breeding into their own line. Many beginners buy dogs from me to breed them and develop their own lines too. I would rather sell a dog for breeding and building than to be used as a toy.
Invariably, time-and-again, the best buyers are relative (not total) beginners ... who've learned enough of the ropes to have some sense ... but who still haven't "made it" ... but they buy with truly good intentions and then they get out there and whip top dogmen with the dogs they get from me (or off of the breedings they made using my dogs).
