I hope I can explain ....
I think all animals should be required by law to be micro-chipped and a database is maintain for all the chips so when an animal comes into the shelter the dog has its chip read. Then the shelter fines the breeder x amount of $$$ for this dog winding up in a shelter. I would not want the breeder to get the dog back because they could easily kill the animal (so they don't pay hugh fines) instead of finding it a good home.
While I know this is tough, breeders have been getting us the taxpayers, rescue's etc to clean up their mess after they have made the profit off of the dogs. Also we have got to slow down the amount of animals breed every year. Millions of pets are euthanized because of profits from a greeder just pumping out dogs and could care less what home they go in.
If someone else has any idea's I would love to hear them.
