most definitely. if I end up with retired breeders, they become part of the family or go to new homes (after inspection and such) for free, most likely with close friends and family that I can rely on to take proper care of them. If they end up not getting the proper care I'd be more than willing to take them back.

I'd be a caretaker first and a breeder second, I won't mix my priorities.
