Well, I don't speak only to or of GSDs, even if they are my favorites! I didn't make it up...people in all breeds have been complaining for at least a year that they have gorgeous puppies and no one calling for pets...I could see it a few breeds, but it is happening everywhere, from coast to coast, even with the most reputable people with well-bred, healthy dogs. Naturally I also know people who can't keep up with the demand, but those are few and far between.
