I so agree with this post. EVERY breeder who is responsible for bringing a puppy into this world is responsible for that puppy it's entire life. If you can not take a dog back because you do not have the physical set up in your home, which I do not, then you take the dog back and pay for boarding at a good kennel until you can rehome that dog.
Also, I will not let my stud dog be used by any breeder unless they agree to this. I also feel that the owner of a stud dog has a responsibility for any of its progeny. When Janice Staley suddenly passed away, she had 4 Strider progency in her kennel. I took responsibility for those dogs, They were picked up the next day and either fostered with friends who had room or placed in forever homes.
I also firmly believe that all breeders should be involved/support in their local breed rescue organization. There are many things you can do. . . foster, counsel/interview protential adoptors, shelter evaluations, work adoption events, work on fund raising committees, publicity committee, tech support, donate money etc.

EVERY breeder should microchip or tattoo their pups and re-claim them, if needed. EVERY breeder should have something in their puppy contract that says they get the puppy back, if buyer can't keep the puppy/dog.Barb Hively - PA DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd
