That depends on how ethical the breeder is. My breeder has a waiting list, and you are not guaranteed to be accepted as a potential adopter (i.e., there's a detailed questionnaire to fill, and you have to pass their "smell test" when they meet you). They have a fixed number of litters per year (litter size can vary though, so you can wait a long time to get a dog), and they never increase that number no matter how much demand there is. They never have a problem finding a home for their pups, because they have a reputation for being good breeders and for their dogs not having health issues.
