I have been and while the thought of leaving dogs behind is heartbreaking, there really is no other good solution than to do so. When you buy dogs from the auctions it not only allows the breeder room to breed more dogs, they are also making money. At many of these auctions they are selling dogs for more money than a broker would pay them, so they are actually very profitable for the breeders. The breeders realize this and just breed more dogs. Andi said it best earlier, it's basically like a cheap pet store
