It is so easy to just pass the buck and shun responsibility for your actions.

I am not going to speak for other breeders. But more and more breeders ARE spaying/neutering puppies before they are placed just because of the over-pupulation problem and they dont want great quality puppies to fall into the hands of mills, bybers, other registries, etc. Most reputable breeders interview and check potential buyers homes before placing a puppy. Most reputable breeders have a lengthy contract and guarantee. Alot are now having mandatory return to breeder clause. But with everything, some buyers dont want to be "micro-managed", some dont tell the breeder that they haved moved, married, changed there name, or taken the puppy to the pound or have given it away or sold it. Cant blame that on the breeder!!
So if you want the big government to micro-manage breeders, you must also have big government micro-manage buyers.
