I am living under the assumption that breeding should be for the betterment of the breed. When a breeder sells an entire litter at 12 weeks, how does she know what she produced? How does she know what is pet quality? Mouths, coats, etc. all change and you can't be sure of what you have even at 6 months -- but you have a better idea.
If she sells the entire litter, how is she improving her own breeding program?
When she sells the entire litter, she has nothing to go forward with. I see it all the time -- entire litters for sale. This practice is breeding pets (on spay neuter contracts of course) for money not any other reason.
Another question, if you don't have room to keep any more puppies, why are you breeding your dogs?

If you don't have the room or need for any more, why are you breeding? Or are you selling yours to other breeders for their breeding program?
