Come on guys, stop with the personal shit hey!!
IMO puppy farmers need to be stopped. Breeding so many litters and putting all those dogs out there, they cant possibly know who they are selling to. Hell its hard enough to find 3 or 4 homes let alone as many as Laurie is saying.
And as Rob says, breeding all those litters takes alot of breeding stock, what happens on a daily basis with this breeding stock? Is it just kennelled, or is it excersised, trained, generally given what a dog should be given? Shame on the breeders that do this to their dogs, it disgusts me and I dont care how much experience you may have had training dogs etc.... in my eyes a breeder like this is nothing more than cruel!!
Its one thing to be putting this many little fluffy lapdog breeds out there as pets but to be putting this many working dogs out there is just playing with fire!!! Its no wonder we are having attacks on a daily basis in the news.
All I can say is, money is the root of all evil!!!

Getting back to topic,breeder responsibility it has dawned on me that we are only discussing puppy placement which of course is relevant.However, is it not the breeder's responsibility to also breed from healthy both temperamentally AND Conformationally correct dogs?
How many people in the "working" picture are, or have bothered to not just test temperament but conformation? I know of kennels who do actively work dogs and have satisfied conformation gradings. Are working people allowed to just breed because temperament only matters? I would think the majority of homes these puppies go to are going to want a dog that ALSO resembles it's breed.With all the breedings taking place ,Laurie is correct more numbers will add to the GENE POOL! So breeding QUALITY dogs is Imperative not hiding on either the work or show camp team.I am only speaking of the breed specialist shows not the all breeds.
I know with Rottweilers V rating does matter but then maybe i am a perfectionist and want both sides of the coin! I know personally I will only breed from V rated dogs with tested temperaments. I see only two Rottweiler enthusiasts cared to comment on what they believed to be Australia's top producing dogs were for both type/temperament. Now with such passion for breeding, I thought the topic of consistent producers would have been important to Rottweiler people. As the topic goes Breeder Responsibility!
