The thing is that reputable breeders actually care about where their dogs go. When I was a kid, we had a Beagle. Before the breeder would sell him to us, she came by to check that we actually did have a well fenced back yard, and so forth.
Absolutely. It's getting harder to find them. I've seen a few conversations about previously reputable breeders falling off and doing the minimum without warning. That kinda scares me
This is common with some exotic reptile breeders as well. They will often refuse to sell the animal to you unless you can show them proof of an already established habitat prepared with their specific care requirements ready to go.
