Wow that is not a fair statement ! Breeders have NO legal rights after the dog is
sold. Contracts that say the new owner must spay/neuter, contact the breeder before rehoming etc. etc. Can not be enforced. A puppy I sold in 1996 turned up 10 years later in a rescue. The owner died and her adult children gave it up, to a rescue. Thank Goodness they gave the rescue the dogs AKC papers and Vet records. Someone saw my name and called me. I was not able to adopt the dog myself at the time (I had too many dogs according to this rescue) But they did find him an excellent home. That Lab lived to be 15 ! I exchanged email and pictures with the couple that adopted him.
