Dog breeders can be found anywhere. However, buying the
best-looking puppy in the pet store does not necessarily
guarantee that you bought a pet with a top breed.
What are the different types of breeders? Which of them
provide the best dog breeds?
1)Look for reputable breeders.
Well known breeders know specific details about their
specialized breed. They examine genetic diseases that are
known to have physical and emotional impact on that breed,
perform veterinary maintenance and sustain breeding records.
A breeder of good reputation will provide you with both the
good and bad points about the breed you prefer. They offer
useful advice and assistance to new dog owners.
You can spot a reputable breeder by the way they maintain
the dogs they personally own. They will let you observe the
kind of care they give the dogs and allow you to see where the
dogs live.
Most outstanding breeders are not just out to make money.
They provide a written health guarantee with all the dogs they
sell. The majority of reputable dog breeders belong to local
or national breed organizations and clubs.
2)Avoid backyard breeders, puppy
mills and pet shops.
Backyard Breeders. These people have
limited education about the breed standards. Commonly,
backyard breeders do not maintain a regular check-up on the
dog's health and genetic makeup. Usually, these people breed
to make money and that is their focus.
Puppy Mills. This is a term commonly used
to describe a business that produces large quantities of dogs.
The majority of the puppies born and trained in puppy mills do
not usually follow a regular veterinary care and appropriate
feeding. Puppy mills do not sell directly to the public. They
only allow sale to pet shops, brokers and dog auctions.
There is no generic breed testing conducted in puppy mills.
The dogs born here have not been adequately socialized and
trained. Most of the puppies are sold in large numbers at the
age of 3 to 4 weeks and could later give the dogs emotional
and health problems.
Pet shops. Many pet shops grant
guarantees. However, these guarantees last for only a year
while majority of genetic diseases found in dogs materialize
when the animal is over a year old. Most pet shops buy their
dogs from puppy mills at a very young age for a cheap price.
Young puppies that are not suitably socialized could cause
behavior problems and poor health.
Finding the best dog breeder means your pet could live a
longer life. Find a reputable breeder now and spare yourself
from possible heartache.
