Finding A Reputable Breeder By Ron www.web-rover.com Anyone can put two dogs together and let them breed, and in turn call themselves a “breeder.” However being called a “reputable” breeder encompasses far more than that. You wont find a reputable breeder trying to sell their dogs to local pet stores, or advertising in classified section. A good breeder does not need these “gimmicks.” Instead, they rely on quality of their dogs. Breeding is a practice that should be done with a sense of pride, and a feeling of fulfillment. So once you have decided that a pure bred dog is right for you, how do you go about overwhelming task of choosing perfect breeder? Well ideally there are several key things to look for. Below is a simple check list to follow when looking for your breeder. - Who is breeder? It is very important to find out who breeder is. One way to find out, is checking references. If breeder is unable to provide written references, you should move on. Snoop around a bit. Talk to other breeders, rescue groups, veterinarians, anyone who can give you some information. - Does breeder require a Spay/neuter contract and limited registration? This means that you are legally obligated to promise that you will NOT attempt to breed your new dog. This helps stop poor quality breeding, and insure high standards of breed. - A reputable breeder should provide you with a “health check” which tests lineage for known and testable genetic disorders. The breeder should be familiar with health line of several generations. As a result, he/she should provide you with a health guarantee for a certain time period.
