One breeder produces between 100-200 puppies a year???? - Page 1

I was browsing and came upon this guys website (he is currently running a want ad here, for more breeding females that are ready to go now) and this note on his available page about "Availability" was almost disgusting! 

We currently have puppies and a few adults for sale.  Email us for current availability.  Our puppies are usually solid black, bi-color, black/red, or black sable.  We average 100-200 puppies a year.

100-200 PUPPIES A YEAR??? Wow, that surely is breeding for quantity, not quality. Don't get me wrong their kennel set up looks ok, but that average is, well.... nevermind.

Is this normal for a reputable breeder? This sounds more like a Commercial Kennel operation, or a Mill.

Sorry for the post... I just can't believe a responsible breeder would be putting this many puppies out there, especially with the economy going in a downward spiral... and dogs ending up in shelters in mass numbers.

yep,  commercial kennel.  I have enough trouble dealing with a couple litters a year,  let alone a couple hundred puppies.

Maybe people will still buy dogs even if the economy goes bust. If he has the help and money to keep up with the demands of so many dogs god bless him if not gosh darn him.

 There are plenty more.....where have you been?

I am particularly fond of this picture of a "female" on his "Females" page:



The picture is familiar to me, not sure which stud dog it is though. Anyone else remember?

That is Veus v h Veile

Ohhh. Good eye. I think you're right!

you would  think 100-200 pups a year they could tell the difference between a male and a female. LOL    , couldnt resist.

Where have you been? There are breeders who go through the alphabet nearly every year. That's 26 litters with an average 6-8 puppies each. That is (check my math LOL). 153-200 puppies a year. At $2500 apiece, that is a minimum of $150,000 a year on puppies. Reason enough for some who don't want to work at a "real job." Wonder how that works during a recession, though.

If I am reading it right, he also states that his 3 stud dogs are all 2 years old and then puts there DOB. They are barely over a year (all born late 07)...
Also, just wondering, is it normal to have a 'buy now' option on the puppy page? I clicked it and it takes you to a paypal account. Just seemed strange, but again I am new to all this!
