They are abandoned, judging by the “a dog is not just for Christmas” ads. I think it’s the well funded charities like Battersea Cats and Dogs Home, who can collect them, and a reasonably strong culture for looking for a dog at these shelters before a breeder.

Another effective method is high rates of neutering for pets. There are geographically segregated areas in the UK that can somewhat confidently say they have no strays.

It can take a while to catch a stray, plenty long enough for them to successfully breed, which just multiplies the problem!
