And yet you can be sure that “responsible breeders” of Weimaraners, along with puppy mills, are continuing to churn out new Weimaraner puppies. And Weimaraner lovers will continue to refer to the “responsible breeders” as “responsible breeders”.
The local problem here is less of what I would term “responsible breeders” and more of the guy we got busted a few months ago. 1 adult male, 4 females, all bred EVERY time they came in. 10 pups “on the ground”, all living in filth (I first went out there to get a free 7-month old that he couldnt sell.. she smelled like feces, severely dirty, emaciated, etc) He was feeding them on bread he was getting free from the market, and so on. All of the dogs were parasite-ridden, just disgusting. He also had double-digit numbers of a couple other breeds as well. Since then, we haven’t had the numbers locally that we had ( “supply-side economics”?) but south of here has something similar, so we’re still pulling from there, too.
Most of the “responsible breeders” I know, have waiting lists for their puppies, because they might breed a litter every couple of years or so. And they take back the dogs if the owners cannot handle them or what have you.
