#1 the memebrs of the GSDCA produce only a minute quantity of the GSD's produced annually in this county. #2 The people who usually seek out pups of our caliber are normally not those that PUT THEM DOWN, at the slightest financial or medical problem (although there will always be a few). Most of these dogs have been raised in back yards with little concern of health or temperment; or puppy mills. Hell go yo your local WALMART and see how many litters are being sold in the parking lot every weekend. If someone can come up with an idea of how to control those breeding without infringing on the rights of serious breeders, I'm all for it, otherwise we will always be stuck with this problem and THANK GOD for people like Dawn and her friends who not only find homes for many but keep the rest of us evermindful of OUR responsibilies as breeders and pet owners.
