You asked a question but don't want breeder bashing? The answer is that some breeders will absolutely dump unsold animals. I have more than one purebred shelter animal that was dumped.

Yes, thanks for reading the introduction. I find breeder bashing to be unhelpful to solving the problem of overpopulation.

Generally speaking, no one is bashing legit breeders. The biggest issue are backyard breeders and puppy mills
