You're right. Rescues are providing the "market" for many of these puppies.
Most breeders are going to get on average $50 when they sell a puppy to a broker. With the pet store market being down, they are now making part of their money by providing dogs at auctions for rescues to buy. It makes no difference to the breeder if the
broker buys one for $50 or if a
rescue buys one for $50 - to them it's the same money!
When they (OKYR) go at the end of March and in April to buy these Biewers they are guaranteeing the breeders will produce more. So, all of the Biewer lovers here, you can be rest assured the Biewer will be part of the auctions from this point forward, just like the yorkies.
