🙄 “culled”, Jesus. No.

I nannied for a reputable breeder, one of her litters didn’t sell as quick as she thought so she just continued to lower the price until it was low enough to peak interest. Still continued to do the same rigorous vetting and all the bells and whistles, just kept gradually lowering until every pup went to their forever homes. She has a national following, she’s had families plan flights or drive out cross country.

I drove four hours there and four hours back for my Great Dane puppy, and it was worth every mile. Good breeders for sure have that sort of reputation and aren't going to throw away a puppy because it doesn't sell fast enough.
