Selling a business venture that didn't materialize sounds logical as the dogs most likely weren't pets to begin with.
X3. At least they had the decency to find a loving home for them. Some would have put the dogs down. If they were well-cared for in the breeder's home then my only complaint is they waited after multiple litters to realize there was a problem. Yes, pets are forever but these obviously weren't pets. Would you be as harsh on someone who had a circumstance change and gave their pet up for adoption? I doubt it.
