Rescue dogs aren't always the breeder (as in Back yard or puppy mill) but the owners. I worked for many years in humane and rescue work, I saw a big trend:
Husband buys dog, wife ends up caring for dog, wife wants dog out.
Kids want a dog, wife/mom ends up caring for dog, mom wants dog out.
couple buys dog, wife has baby, wife wants dog out
Older kids living at home buy dog, mom ends up caring for dog and then wants the dog out.
husband and dog bond wife gets jealous, wants dog out.
Now it looks like I'm putting all the blame on the wife/mom/girlfriend, but these are the facts.
As far as breeding goes, people not being ethical or belonging to a club will sell or give their dogs away and that is a very common excuse, "my cousin gave me the dog, now we can't keep it" so if you are a dummy breeding dogs, you wouldn't know all this stuff and you would sell your dogs to all of the above.
So, who's problem is it???????
