That is a burden that most thoughtful, responsible breeders do not take lightly and so, do not willingly release any dogs meant for breeding without a serious and well executed mentorship arrangement. Anyone just willing to release registration with a higher price tag, to whomever, has questionable ethics in my opinion......and yes, there are lots and lots of them out there. |
You are so right, I'm even responsible for those puppies that were produced by my studs, if in fact the breeder does not take back the puppies.
