Cindy -- This has been what's going through my mind over and over again. It's not the puppies he sells, it's about the canine environment he supports. He has it all nice and sanitized on his website. He's the buffer between the "factory" and the "sales counter" -- much like my children used to think that the chicken I bought at the grocery store had no relation to the chickens on a farm. All you need to do is simple math. How many puppies does the Hunte Corp. ship out to retailers each year? Divide that number by "6" for average litter size. How many litters is that? Now, how many individual "fully-licensed, professional breeders" (FLPB) does he utilize? How do the numbers of FLPB's compare to the number of litters produced? I must have missed something while reading his "presentation to the GSDCA" -- suddenly this isn't such a rosy picture any more.

What happens to them once they pass their breeding years, or if they get pyo, or are just not producers. Are you telling me these commercial breeders are finding good homes for their retired breeding veterans. Do they offer awards and recognition to their top producers and hold them in the highest asteem. Do they get to sleep on their owners bed at night and spend their final years blissfully dreaming of all their dozens of offspring and wonder where they are in the world. > > I'm not positive, but my guess is that they get a nice bullet in the head if they are lucky and if they are unlucky they are sent to these "dog auctions" with an "all sales final" policy to wring that last bit of $$$$ out of them.
