the foster to own program (for the dogs)

At [company name] Retriever we want our dogs to be as happy and healthy as possible. To do this we look for secure family homes for our dogs to live in while they are not being bred. 5 of our dogs are enjoying their families at this time.
From time to time we are looking for such "family homes" to foster a puppy or dog (mostly females available). This allows you to receive a pup at no initial charge to you. You will be required to provide necessary maintenance for your pup as well as feeding a quality age appropriate food. This will be your dog .
[company name] will retain all breeding right. This will require you to not spay or neuter your dog. When in season you will be required to keep her away from other males to keep her safe from unplanned breeding. When dog retires you will have full ownership.
If you live within a reasonable distance from our kennel and would like to be considered for this program please contact us.

this made me cringe
Re: the foster to own program (for the dogs)
"Yours in christ" bullsh!t.
If they're not showing the goldens (which they can't if they are living in other homes) then I highly doubt they're testing for genetic diseases as well (such as hip dysplasia).
Plus the shear amount of breeding stock they keep on hand is despicable.
How can anyone see this as a good deal?
this stuff pisses me off.
UM... wow. I don't know whether to congratulate them on being creative or run screaming. Can you imagine the legal nightmares this program could become?
Poor dogs. I hope they are atleast placing them in decent homes.
Ditto. If they have so many dogs that they need to farm them out to other people to be able to afford them, they are running a horrible, shady, disgusting puppy mill. End of story. I sincerely hope that their "Christ" has a special place in hell for them because the Christ I believe in surely wouldn't condone that sort of animal abuse.
exactly!
I too am wondering if this program is a cover up for either a puppy mill (trying to liquidate visible assets) or breeder going broke and trying to get other's to cover the dogs expenses and they make all the profit.
VERY SHADY and not at all good breeding practices. A good breeder would not have their dogs farmed out, out of their control through a foster to own program.
How to Chooe a reputable breeder? lol
Some people shouldn't be allowed to have animals.
