Since 2021 (I think) and Lucy's Law came into force, a puppy under 6 months cannot be sold on, if the home doesn't work out it must go back to the breeder. That is great, as it should be, but day in day out I see pups on social media needing to be "rehomed." Today it's a 19-week-old female whose owners couldn't cope. I'll refrain judgment of owners and breeders for the initial purchase ... but I will harshly judge any breeder who shies away from their responsibility and doesn't take a puppy back. I've only ever had one puppy back, Rocky was about 5 months, but of course I've taken back numerous adults whose lives didn't work out for the best. I don't feel I need praise for being a responsible breeder, "if you can't do the rescue, why the hell did you breed?"
