Yes, either in shelters or in rescues. The UK does not allow the sale of puppies from anyone other than the breeder. It would be sooooo simple to control.
Also our laws are set up to actually force breeders to keep dogs in outbuildings. In our county, if you have more than 6 dogs, they cannot be kept inside your home. The same law applies to 5 pound dogs as to 150 pound dogs. I can have 8, five pound dogs and it would not make one large dog. Now to me that does not make sense. Aren't my dogs better off inside my house with me, than isolated in some other building
