This is also a question that I brought up when I was just a green newbie and was "flamed" for even suggesting that anyone would do this. I read it in a book and asked if it was done and was accused of having done it myself, even though at that point I was not a breeder.
It probably is not as cruel as it seems. a mother will push an unhealthy pup away and it will die from hypothermia very rapidly. So to put them in the freezer would just hasten the death.
If you had a puppy born with an open skull and it was screaming in pain, the freezer would actually be a kinder choice than to drive it to a pet ER tio have it PTS.
And NO I have not done this, I have been fortunate enough to never have to euthanize a puppy.
