Ok, I found the article. It is the second litter that they had taken in from the same breeder, not necessarily the second litter from the same bitch. It sounds like the breeder was over her head. The pups did not sell and were 8 months old when she surrendered them, knowing that they have issues, but also that she is having issues and cannot care properly for them.
To her credit, she did not allow them to become terribly neglected. She called for help which in all these instances of seizures we demand why breeders won't ask for help. She did. We have no idea what her circumstances were ten months ago when she bred this litter, or the previous litter that she let go two months earlier.
Life sometimes happens in a heart beat. A death in the family, a loss of a job, a medical problem, a car crash. She could have put down the puppies and no one but her vet would have known. She could have taken the litter to an out of town vet and put them down. They will put down puppies that are as affected as these pups are, if asked to.
But she surrendered them in hopes of the puppies being given the surgeries they need and good homes. And I hope that is what happens.
I also hope that the rescue agreed to do this on the condition that the bitches that produced these puppies be spayed, and if she owns the dog, that he be neutered as well. A rescue might solicit funds for helping these puppies out, but to be responsible, they really need to try to ensure more like them will not be produced.
We do not know how old the second litter was. If it was a couple of months older than the second litter, and they are not as affected, there was no way she could have known 10 months ago when she bred the dam of these puppies that there would have been a problem like that with dysplasia.
So let's not bash her. She produced dogs that have a problem. And she couldn't manage it for whatever reason, so she took steps to provide for the dogs.
