A Reputable Breeder Will.....

A reputable breeder will.....

1) Participate with the breed by showing in conformation so that they know
the dogs they are breeding are proven to be of a higher standard and
conformationally correct.

2)Health test annually for genetic issues that run in the breed. They will
be able to provide proof that their dogs have been checked.


3)Know the extensive background of each of their dogs. They will know
everything they possibly can about their dogs' pedigrees and what runs in the lines
that makes up the pedigree.

4)They will have a reason for the breeding between the two dogs they have
chosen to breed. They will breed only dogs who complement each other so that
they are producing the healthiest, most conformationally sound pups possible.

5) Guarantee their pups to be healthy and will offer alternatives and
options to the buyer should something happen. They also guarantee show pups to be
show material as adults.

6) They don't breed PET dogs

7) They don't breed dogs who come from Back Yard Breeders or Puppy Millers.

8)Their original breeding stock came from proven lines and have remained
free of genetic health problems.

9) Sell their pet pups on spay/neuter contracts because they care about the
whole breed and only want the best possible dogs to be bred.

10) Will never sell "Breeder" dogs. This is an animal sold to someone just
so they can breed.

11) Will be willing to talk to you extensively about the puppy you would
like and help you decide if its the right choice for you and your family.


12)Will answer any questions that you have regarding the parents and what
runs in the puppy's lines. Strengths AND weaknesses.

13) Have an extensive knowledge of the breed as a whole and will answer the
questions about the breed knowledgeably.

14) Good breeders will recommend other good breeders if they do not have the
perfect puppy for you.

15)NEVER under ANY circumstances will they sell to a pet store, backyard
breeder, or miller.

16) Will be upfront and brutally honest about the puppy. They will not just
be trying to make a sell.

17) They will never constantly have pups for sale. If someone says, "We
always have puppies." RUN! You have found a miller for sure!

18)Will never just breed to have puppies for sale to make money. If the
breeder is doing everything they should be doing, IE showing, health testing,
buying top notch dogs, etc...they will not be making money off of breeding. They
are breeding because they are doing a quality breeding to benefit their
line and to have new pups to show.

19) They will NEVER sell/breed "TEACUPS" or other abnormalities such as odd
colored eyes, short appendages, or mixed breeds, and try to pass them off as
"special" and "valuable".

20) They will not claim a newborn or a pup under a couple of months to be "Show quality" if the pup is still young they will call it a "Show Prospect" if it looks nice. If it is sold as "Show Quality" they will garantee the adult to be finishable.

21) Will always provide professional answers, love their dogs and what they
are doing, are CONCERNED with where their pups go, and ALWAYS has the best
interest of the breed at heart in everything they do.




if your breeeder/breeder youre looking at doesnt do all of the above, find a new one!

Re: A Reputable Breeder Will.....

I have a question re: #6 -

How do breeders distinguish their pets from their 'breeding' dogs ?? -

Do they live separately or play with them/feed them/train them/treat them differently somehow ??

Or did I completely take this the wrong way?

Pets are not show potential. Chat Icon They treat them exactly the same, except they will not train them to be show dogs. A reputable breeder breeds for the sake of being able to create champion show dogs. When a puppy is born with traits that are outside the breed standard, they are not eligible to be shown, thus becoming a pet. Breeders that breed just for pet homes are BYBs.

I was a bit ticked thinking of the pet dogs getting to cuddle on the couch and eat people food while the others had to sleep in their little beds with no treats Chat Icon

Re: A Reputable Breeder Will.....

Stupid Question: If you want to buy a dog like a shih-poo or schnoodle they obviously are not shown. How can you tell that those breeders are reputable?

The breeders are considered BYBs, with the exception of the cocker-poo, which is currently under scrutiny by the AKC to become a recognized breed. Many of the "designer dogs" are bred by hobby breeders or mills, and have not been around long enough for the breeders to make educated statements about their health, temperament, or lineage.
