Default Pet shop dogs

I am sorry but since I can't seem to shut my mouth or get my hands tied in this case.. I have one last question.

Please keep in mind that Reese is our first dog.. I do not have any experience with breeders nor do I claim to know what are common practices but I will ask one question.

Why do breeders sell their animals to others, who probably have zero experience in breeding dogs? Wouldn't that too alleviate the problem of too many dogs, too many dogs bred under the wrong conditions, and the probability of dogs having various illnesses. Even if the bloodlines of the initial dogs are checked out by the reputable breeder, isn't it at all possible for some diseases/problems to show up in later generations. If a reputable breeder allows their dog to be bred by others, isn't this another added potential problem?

How does a breeder insure the quality of her/his pups down the road? Again please do not fault me for going off the topic (which I have clearly done now) and please do not fault me for once again being ignorant on breeding practices. It would just seem better to me if we had a group of licensed breeders who were required to do all testings necessary to insure quality pups, be monitored as most human daycare centers hopefully should or do get monitored, etc.. and leave it to the experts, instead of allowing anyone and everyone the ability to breed animals.

Why not force spay neuter contracts regardless of how healthy that particular puppy is?

Sorry if I am offending anyone, that is certainly not my intent. I would just like to try to understand all issues surrounding the problem of animals that are poorly bred.
