Breeders want what's best for their dogs and the breed even AFTER they leave their hands. It all comes down to taking the precautions that they feel would be in the best interest of the dogs in the long run.
If they feel that one of their pups is of a quality that should not be bred, then they do what they can to ensure there is no possibility that it will be used for breeding in the future. Aside from wanting what's best for their dogs, no breeder wants their name or line associated with poor breeding down the line as a result of someone having one of their dogs and not breeding responsibly.
Also, just because you trust someone as a responsible owner, doesn't mean you would trust them as a responsible breeder. Many breeders are not willing place a dog with someone who may be a great owner, but who has zippo knowledge regarding breeding, without a s/n agreement.
When breeders place dogs with breeding rights, it is generally with someone they trust as a breeder, or who they are mentoring and it is a dog that they feel has great qualities and will contribute to the breed.
Also, people change. Many times breeders find out that people are not as trustworthy as they thought. |
