Breeders have extensive knowledge about their breeds and their wisdom can be extremely helpful to their puppy families.
When discussing purchasing a puppy from an accountable breeder you should expect a thorough evaluation process.
At a minimum, your puppy should come home with their first set of vaccinations, vet records and a unique identifier such as a microchip.
One of a breeder’s primary goals should be to breed healthy, balanced and sound puppies. One of the ways to achieve this is through health and genetic testing.
Most accountable breeders are entrenched in activities revolving around their dogs and their breeds, demonstrating how passionate they are.
