Good point.  However, in Canada we call them Hagen ferrets because although
they contract the breeding out, they take all the responsibility for the
ferrets.  As far as I know, Mr. Holden doesn't sell his ferrets any other
way than through Hagen.  I guess Hagen would therefore be breeders by
proxy...

Why, Batman, of course ... ;-p
