When discussing purchasing a puppy from an accountable breeder you should expect a thorough evaluation process.
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.
Adding a new member to your family can be an exciting and patience-trying experience, but don’t let your anticipation of your new arrival let you forget that not all individuals selling dogs or puppies are accountable, reputable breeders.
Breeders have extensive knowledge about their breeds and their wisdom can be extremely helpful to their puppy families.
Most accountable breeders have waiting lists so you may be required to wait several months or a year or more to bring home a puppy.
