I know it upsets a lot of people but I'm curious about this. From my own experience and from what I've read on YT, people have a hard time finding responsible breeders with available puppies. I want my puppy from a home where they only have enough dogs they can care for properly and give the attention they deserve. If they breed after the second heat and for only so many years without wearing the females out, then keep the females for the rest of their lives, how many puppies could they possibly have? Where does that leave the many people wanting puppies to turn? More mill puppies?
If you look at the big picture, isn't it necessary for good breeders to rehome?
We've taken in two dogs when the owners could no longer keep them. The dogs never forgot them but were just as happy with us (it was harder on the owners). I just don't see it as that terrible if they find a loving home.
