A close friend of mine had a litter where mum wouldn't feed - knew there was a rescue with a potential foster mum, and was told - in no uncertain terms - that because she was a breeder, they would take the babies, but the breeder would have no say in where they went, or what would happen to them, and would never be allowed to see them again. as it happens, that breeder found another breeder to foster - things went very smoothly from there on.

Im sorry but please show me a puppy farmer that is giving dogs to homes! What do you think these wonderful puppy farmers do with their unsold stock or ex breeding bitches?
So you friend wanted a rescue to foster her puppies and then give them back to her to sell on, did she not have a backup in place as this does happen and most breeders would have some sort of assistance from the breed clubs.

A better sugestion would be to put a hold on all breeding until these dogs all find homes

I do not have the time to go trawling for kill shelters right now - but surely, you can't be so naive as to think they don't exist. not all rescues are good/saintly you know

a good rescue will be able to provide suitable accomodation for a dog in the long term.

No Im not that naive to believe that dogs are pts every day, but Im also not that niave to think there are enough rescue spaces for all the dogs out there that need one or that puppy farmers are in any way better than shelters.
