I agree with both of you guys. While a breeder cannot 100% influence what happens to the pups from his/her kennel, the breeder should learn from previous mistakes in placement.
But, it is customers who pick the breeders as well. Unfortunately, most people do not research their breed of interest, do not look for quality (in different aspects), but instead take what is well-promoted or easily available. It is a great pity, that there are so many differences in breeding regulations between countries - and so the honest small-time breeders are in a disadvantage, just as in other commercial enterprises.
