Most dog breeders are reputable people who truly care about the health and welfare of the dogs they breed. When you are purchasing a puppy from a dog breeder do not be afraid to ask to see where the dog breeder lives.
Some puppy mills will disguise themselves as dog breeders. A dog breeder should be knowledgeable about the type of dog you are buying. There are so many kind-hearted dog breeders that care about finding each puppy a good home for life.
The reputable breeder knows his or her pups better than anyone and can best match a pup’s personality and abilities with an owner’s personality and expectations.
A satisfied dog owner is your best guarantee to the quality of a breeder. Don’t have all your discussions with the breeder off-site. You should visit the kennel in which he keeps his dogs. If you find that the breeder has a very large number of dogs and puppies kept in his kennels, beware! He may be what is known as a backyard breeder.
A backyard breeder is someone who breeds because they believe their dog needs to have a litter to “feel complete”or because they want to make a quick buck. A good look will give you some measure of reassurance about the quality of the breeder’s animals. An important point to be also noted is whether the puppies appear to be afraid of the breeder.
While you are at the breeder’s place, you should ask him to provide references. It may require some effort to find a breeder with whom you feel comfortable, but the time you spend finding the right breeder will be time well spent in the long run.
