GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Livestock / Animal Husbandry / dog breeding
French term or phrase: rassembleur
Si lors de la présentation, le vétérinaire ou le responsable du centre remarquent un mauvais état, une mauvaise vermifugation ou un pelage terne, ils les refusent. La plupart des éleveurs n’ont que 2 ou 3 femelles. Le **rassembleur** ne connaît pas les conditions exactes de détention des chiens dans les petits élevages.

This is a Belgian text.

I can't think of anything that sounds right in English. "collector" or "assembler" don't sound good.

Many thanks.

neutral  writeaway: but they already mention éleveurs

broker


Explanation:
I searched for examples of "rassembleur" and found something in "Lingee" in the French/German pair. The Word "Vermittler" is being used, which could be translated as "broker". I would be tempted to use this term or maybe "vendor" http://www.linguee.fr/francais-allemand?query=rassembleur.
In my experience as former breeder of Great Pyrenees guard dogs much discussion revolved around puppy mills and the marketing of the puppies. In many cases the "vendor" is the owner of a pet store who receives the animals without having verified their origin, especially, as seems to be expressed here, if the puppies come from a small breeder. Puppy mills are often thought of as being larger operations.

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: "broker" is far too high a register for this type of context (and person)
26 mins
  -> The expression "brokering a deal" had come to mind when I wrote the word "broker". You are right, as I look at it now it seems wrong. I didn't mean it as in " courtier".
