Just curious - If a breeder has a female golden, how much do they profit for each litter that they produce (i.e. after all birth related expenses and taking care of the new puppies for the ~2 months until they're picked up, assuming that they charge $2,500 per puppy)?

At the end of July a post came across my FB page. It was a doodle, poodle, and golden breeder. She is definitely a high volume backyard breeder. In 4 months she had 7 litters, a total of 56 pups. Her selling price was $1,500.00 per pup. That works out to $84,000.00 in 4 months. Some of that money has to go back into her animals but no where does she have full clearances on these dogs. No where on her page does she show she does anything with her dogs accept have them produce puppies. 
According to both breed clubs she is not following the code of ethics. It looks like most of that money is going into her pockets. No where on her page does it show her actively doing anything for those pups to prepare them for the world. This was certainly a greeder and people were purchasing those pups left and right and fawning all over her page. It was just sickening.
This isn't the first time I checked out one of these facebook pages. About 2 years ago I looked into another one. She made $140,000.00 from Jan to Aug that year. Again, nothing showing up that she did anything for her dogs or pups besides breeding and selling. On this one I don't remember how many dogs she had and how many litters she had as it was over two years since I looked it up but I remember the amount.
It is so disheartening that people are so willing to keep putting money in these breeders pockets.
Anyone that wants a dog please do your research into each individual breeder before handing over any money and make good choice. Please do the same when working with a rescue as not all of them are for the dogs either.
