In a perfect world everyone would have a waiting list for their dogs. This is not a perfect world.
It's hard to sell a pfuppy 6 or 7 months down the road, when people want a puppy NOW, and there are so many available NOW. Most pet buyers do not want to wait, a breeder, or a show person will wait for the perfect one, but not people who want pets.
I argee that if the people were told the size of the parents and are willing to take a chance then it is their decision.
However, what happens is, no one wants to buy the pups because the mother is larger than standard, so eventually, the breeder becomes deceptive in order to sell, and as a result end up with unhappy customers.
I also agree that loving decent people would never be able to get rid of the dog once they had it, no mater what it's size, Again, this is not a perfect world. For what ever their reasons, if they want a 5 pound dog, they want a 5 pound dog, not a 10 pound one.
