A litter of 4 cocker pups were dumped at my vets not so long ago all of them with major cataract problems one of which is inoperable

The staff at the vets have shared them out and taken them home

I've had a couple of calls asking for advice on what the best things to teach them are - think it was more of a conference call really with their phone on loud speaker so all the new owners could hear

Breeders don't have to keep their pups it doesn't make them any less responsible.
I know they could of done worse, but what they did is by no means right, and I don't see could be justified, this breeding was more then likely all about the money, money couldn't be made off this pup, so they sent her somewhere else so they didn't have to pay for her.

And the second point, if pups don't get homes the breeders should keep them, passing them to rescue does make them irresponsible, its the same as responsible breeders should take back any pup they breed, if they can't they shouldn't be breeding.
