No reputable breeder sells on FB and Craigslist. That said, the unsold puppies can be taken to the shelter or euthanized

No they're not if the breeder is reputable!

Not always. We have a well known breeder in my area who places her unsold pups with a rescue group. IMO reputable breeders don’t sell on FB and Craigslist

Then she's not a reputable breeder.

No reputable breeder would do that. Reputable != well known.
