Here is a checklist to keep in mind when shopping for a good breeder.
- Puppies are born on premises
- Breeder does not sell to brokers or retail shops
- Facilities are clean and well kept
- Puppies have been handled, and introduced to children and other dogs
- Breeder interviews you and offers information on the breed to ensure a good match
- Puppy comes with limited registration as a pet, and is to be spayed/neutered
- Breeder promises to take the dog back (not return your money) if you can't keep it
- Breeder provides a 3 day money back guarantee, and a 1-2yr health guarantee by contract
- Breeder raises no more than 2-3 breeds, it's difficult to be competent in more breeds
- Breeder's primary concern is finding a good home for the puppy or dog rather than making a sale
- Breeder was happy to answer questions and makes you feel comfortable asking for advice
- Breeder is familiar with and abides by breeder's Code of Ethics
