How do you research a breeder?
How do I find the right breeder?
- Ask your veterinarian, who sees lots of pups, for a good reference.
- If you like your friend’s dog, find out where they got him.
- Most reliable breeders earn their reputation by providing healthy pups to good homes resulting in “word of mouth” references.
How do you know if its a puppy mill?
“Puppy mill” conditions can include:
- Small cages with wire floors that hurt dog feet and legs.
- Cages stacked on top of one another without ample ventilation.
- Poor sanitary practices, leading to illness and parasites.
- Forced breeding of female dogs with little time for recovery between litters.
What are reputable breeders?
Reputable breeders, sometimes dubbed “hobby breeders,” do not breed puppies for a profit. They do it for the betterment of the breed, for the love of dogs, and… well… for the fun of it. And they very rarely make a profit on a litter of puppies. Few of these expenses are incurred by backyard breeders.
Where can I find a responsible dog breeder?
