I think if a breeder looks into the prospective homes and does their research in the same way they would place a puppy, there is no reason why they should not place their retired breeders. I personally get too attatched so could never be a breeder for this reason (same reason I could never foster either fur or skin babies ) but I do admire those who are able to do this. I think it would be wonderful to be able to give one of these babies a new home especially if they are from reputable breeders and kept in the breeders home and shown love. I believe those who foster and those good breeders who make sure these retired babies have the best forever homes deserve lots of kudos. |
