I would also like to point out that even the biggest of breeders will buy animals from other breeders to fill holes in their inventory of available animals. Trades take place all of the time, and there is always an influx of animals from other breeders that might be turned around into an outgoing sale pretty quickly. I know I have sold quite a few animals to Brian over the years, and have to assume that many others do as well. Of course, I don't know for a fact what the situation was in this exact case, but it's often best to not jump to conclusions that just because you bought an animal from a breeder that it was actually PRODUCED by that breeder.
If you want to get an eye opening experience, actually visit some facilities that these REALLY big outfits run. I haven't been to Brian's facility, but I have been to Mark and Kim Bell's place, which should likely be pretty similar in scope, and to say it is a humbling experience is being quite conservative, at best.
