Breeders have extensive knowledge about their breeds and their wisdom can be extremely helpful to their puppy families.
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.
At a minimum, your puppy should come home with their first set of vaccinations, vet records and a unique identifier such as a microchip.
Most accountable breeders are entrenched in activities revolving around their dogs and their breeds, demonstrating how passionate they are.
An accountable breeder welcomes prospective puppy owners to visit them and their kennels, and will want to get to know you, your family, and your lifestyle.
