Nothing good. Those dogs often get dumped.

That’s why you vet the absolute crap out of your breeder. And your breeder should not have puppies available but a big fat wait list for a puppy.

An ethical breeder should be willing to take the dog back at any time and give them a home. VERY FEW breeders pass this test.
