Question for the breeders. "Undesirables"?

[Eric Alan]

That's what I'm concerned about, when I think about breeding... I don't want to put my animals in a store that I know won't properly care for them, with staff that I know won't educate the consumer correctly on their care. All just because they're not as valuable as some of the other animals I produce.

So don't. As the breeder, you have the choice on who you do business with. It really is that simple.

To be fair, your thoughts are absolutely valid. As a breeder, it's rare that you're 100% certain your animals are going to receive exceptional care in their new homes - whether they go to stores or individuals. All you can do is your best during your interactions and conversations with potential customers to learn if they're a good fit for the animal(s) they're intending to purchase. Beyond that, there's not much you can do.
