If breeders did not rehome their retired breeders, eventually there qwould be no more puppies for us yorkie lovers to buy. Then the price of retired breeders would go up because people would be willing to pay for them since they can't get puppies.

I know there are a lot of them being taken to rescues, but I doubt that those breeders tried hard to rehome them.

There are a lot of people out there wanting adult purebred dogs that have been taken care of.

People often do not want rescue dogs because so many of them come with problems. But are delighted to get a dog that has been spay/neutered, teeth cleaned and is in excellent condition.

Puppy millers cannot rehome theirs because they are terrified, matted, unsocialized, and the list goes on.

I rehomed a stud after I had him neutered and teeth cleaned. I gave him to a previous buyer who wanted a second dog but could not afford one. So he went to a home that was delighted to get him. My biggest concern for him was to get him into a home with another dog since he was used to being with other dogs.
