From a different perspective..

I am not a breeder but recently a breeder from YT was rehoming one of her females. I got the little sweetie for someone who has cancer and really, really wanted a small dog. (she had one before who had died of old age) Being sick, she didn't really have the energy to do a good search for one.

I picked up this female and brought her back and gave her to the woman and it is just wonderful how they are getting along and all the love that they give to each other. The dog is helping the woman and the woman is giving the dog so much love and attention and everything else she needs or wants.

So, in a case like this, it could not have turned out better.
Would I adopt a retired breeder for myself? In a heartbeat!!!
