This desire is triggered when introduced to a puppy that "Someone else might not care for properly." That nurturing instinct kicks in and suddenly the prospective buyer is on a mission.

I'm not saying that a puppy with perceived special needs is more attractive but it certainly does put the "pity" card into play, and if the puppies continue to sell the parents will be bred again.

No breeding should be repeated unless it produced outstanding puppies.

I am going to pretend that I did not see paragraph #2.
