Disreputable ones will have tons during this time. Advertising them as great xmas gifts. Then come january and february when families realize the dog was not for them or too much work, then they get sent to the shelter, rescues or sold, bc the breeders do NOT want to take the dogs back, bc they do not care about the dogs, they care about the $$$$.

A reputable breeder will take the dog back at any point in its life.

thank you for that explanation. it makes sense!
