Responsable breeding and placement is what each and every breeder should do.

Breed only good quality to good quality and then make sure that there is a program set up for you to find the dogs homes.

Some in the greyhound industy do this some do not

When you say hand them over to rescue for someone to take care of.

Greyhound owners have tried to place the dogs themselves. Often the adoption groups frown on this because the breeder didn't do a home vistit, didn't do things properly like an adoption group would.

Some owners pay for everything for the hound to find it's forever home and some don't. Some pay part some don't.

The reason I send the dogs that I own to adoption groups is that they are darn good at what they do. Better than I would be.
I've tried to do the placements myself and don't seem to do a very good job.

This is what I don't understand. Let's assume that everything you say is right. And that greyhounds live happy racetrack lives and so on. To me it just seems wrong that a person would breed an animal for profit, then once it's done making a profit they hand it over to a rescue for someone else to take care of so they can do it all over again.
