Yes, and I have people waiting for years, (yes, years) for that combination 
of breeding.  That of course would not be available in any rescue dog.  My 
breeding has nothing to do with selling puppies, but sometimes out of 
necessity it has a lot to do with how the pups that we do not keep are 
handled.  I take care of my own, hopefully, if all parties do as they agree 
when they take their pup.  I also handle those other dogs who were bred by 
others, so I have no problem with what I do.  If every breeder did as I do 
and many other breeders do, we would not have a rescue problem.  I also 
average less than one litter per year over the past 20 years.  I am not 
unusual, there are quite a few others like me and even more particular than 
I.
