I think some people need a start. Some people may be trying to peddle. I think more often people are trying to protect an investment like ewo said. A growing breeder will be able to learn his brood dogs then have a litter. Ideally dogs should be tested. There’s no other way to breed well over generations. Breeders and match people have different goals and make different decisions and probably don’t run their yards the same. It’s dumb to kill off your first dogs. ewo is right. Some people may want to do dogs but for one reason or another can’t be involved.
