The RCMP now have their own breeding program in Insfall, Alberta and breed 
from Czech lines.

How's it going, eh
Many years ago here in Canada, the RCMP would buy whole litters of puppies
in the hopes that maybe 1 or 2 of them would turn out to suit their needs.
Actually, I had a client back then that sold them at least a couple of
litters. I don't know if that is still their practice, but it was 20 or 30
years ago. I often wondered what ever happened to the ones that didn't turn
out.
Personally, I never ever sold them any dogs.I usually found  that every time
I sold a dog to a cop, it usually turned out to ba a real pain in the ass,
as any I sold to seemed to think they were smarter than everybody else.
(that should get thing going)

" I would be more inclined to question those who sell to him." Doris E*
================================================================================================================================================
Doris has raised another interesting point. Has anyone on the list ever sold
puppies to Mr. Hunte? Or, knows of any PC member who has sold puppies to
Mr.Hunte for re-sale. Would anyone on the list who is participating in this
thread sell puppies to Mr. Hunte for re-sale?
Just some thoughts! How about this one. If I chose to sell a litter of pups
to Mr. Hunte for re-sale at petshops around the country, what would I charge
per puppy? Considering his proposed expertise in selling puppies on a
nationwide venue I wonder what his bidding price per puppy would be.
Considering his large overhead (transportation,feeding, etc.) I think it
would be less than half of the, let's say the 8 to 1200 dollars a breeder
would get per puppy. Or, could I perhaps ask for a percentage of the mark up
by the petshop over the price I sell it to him for. Oh, the mind boggles at
the possible questions he might pose as to the quality of your stock, your
experience breeding and your committment to the STANDARD! Yea,right!

Or, to be more advantageous to regional clubs who are struggling to survive,
maybe clubs could
form co-ops and bargain with Mr. Hunte for best prices. Have puppy drives to
a central locations for x-pen inspections. Get a long little doggies. And,
at the National, Mr. Hunte could pick-up a lot of quality dogs, that
exhibitors can't afford to show any more because of declining puppy
sales,and really start his own breeding empire! Perhaps, then under the
emprimetor of the GSDCA, Mr. Hunte could solve all of the regional and PC
financial problems by sponsoring all the Futurities/Maturities and the
National show.

Listen, I personally don't know the man, since I heard he owns a German
Shepherd, he probably is a decent person. However, it is his business
practices and how they totally disregard the goals of the PC that more than
makes me nervous. It's hard as hell enough debunking local backyard breeders
who don't have the slightest idea of the Standard, but possibly dealing with
an even greater threat to the soundness of our breed.

Just think about the some of possible long term consequences. I'm not
addressing tommorrow, I'm addressing the future. Food for thought.
