Kazzy,
Perhaps they
should ~ but many
don't.
Spend a little time in the Sick and Injured forum. Many little pups in the wrong hands just do not make it. Whose fault is it? The buyer or the breeder?
I would love to NOT read so many of these threads ~ but they are there and they are heartbreaking.
If it's such a novel idea ~ why do so many reputable breeders suscribe to it? Guess they must just not know what they are doing.
