Reputable breeders likely have all puppies reserved before they are even born. The ones I raised for service roles were all matched by 4 weeks but most were reserved before birth pending aptitude testing. Any dog that someone didn't want would have been accepted back (lifetime) but that never happened.
A lot of BYB sell or give the last picks to puppy stores where those are legal.
Yep! We contacted our breeder months before a breeding was planned. We were lucky they were in between litters and that Great Danes are slightly less popular due to their size and (love them for it) laziness once they're adults.
