And you are right divapup, reputable breeders aren't the ones that have to defend their breeding/selling practices.
This is what I've always questioned ... WHY would a breeder sell their pups to a broker? Why can't the breeder find a loving home? How can they trust someone else to find a home for their babies? Wouldn't they be worried that their babies got into the hands of a bad owner?

But then I am confused when someone buys a pup from a broker and everything turns out wonderful (the dog and great and has no health issues) ... unless they just got lucky.
