Often it will be argued that breeding and rescue can go hand-in-hand. Unfortunately many rescuers will agree that this is not always the case. While it may be that some breeders will accept rescues, it must be accepted that every animal (be it guinea pig or other companion animal) deliberately bred takes up a place in a home that could potentially have been a permanent residence for a rescue pet. With the best of intentions, some breeders will be select about who they home to, if they rehome their guinea pig babies at all. Unfortunately this is a minority of people and many breeders are directly contributing to an ever-increasing problem of over-population.
