Seeking a Reputable Dog Breeder

Kar-Bay-Inc 934 Comments , , , , , , , ,

 

The dog breeder is that special person who raises and breeds specific pure-bred dogs. You want to make sure before you contact a breeder you follow these tips.

Reputation

The dog breeders’ reputation — you need to be sure that this person is indeed looking after his animals that they are healthy,

Try to reach his references

Generally, responsible and professional dog breeders are very careful with their references. The good dog breeder will provide you information regarding his past ‘collaborations’ and will give you the telephone number or any other contact mean by which you can verify his or her background.  You can always contact a dog breeder who has worked with friends, then you know exactly how responsible that person was.

You will be asked several questions

A good dog breeder will query you on your home and experience, to make sure the dog is going to a good home.

They want to make sure that the animals are placed in the correct environment with the correct people because this is very important. They will need details of your life and finances: whether you have children or not, the size of your house and garden, and other questions to make sure the dog is sent to the right place, with the right family. If your dog breeder doesn’t ask all these questions, then walk away,  they just breed for money.

Risks and guarantees

A professional dog breeder will have had all the dogs and puppies passed through medical analysis before selling them. Yet, there are some problems which can be seen after several months or maybe years. For instance, the golden retrievers may have this problem called dysphasia, a genetic flaw in the animals’ hip joints, which cannot be seen until the animal is several months old. In this case, a good dog breeder should have no problem giving your money back despite any unfortunate situation. These genetic problems can be avoided by means of selective breeding, yet many puppies have it as a consequence of a hereditary genetic disorder, while some of them gain it not as a hereditary effect.

Ways of reaching a dog breeder

 

Word of Mouth

Veterinary Recommendations

Pet Shops that sell food and supplies

Web Search/ blogs that share information on breeders

 

It is always recommended to try to adopt from your local shelter, but if you are seeking a specific breed then contact a highly rated breeder.
