How to Find a Responsible Breeder
Tuesday. 10.2.12 8:56 am
Finding a responsible breeder can be a very daunting task if you do not know what you are looking for.


You can look through the mountains of classified articles. If you are going that route, you are probably going to have to screen out a lot of puppy mill breeders and backyard breeders. In either case, you will probably have inadequate health and genetic screenings, which can lead to some of the problems that purebred dogs are so infamous for. Due to some genetic abnormality your dog could go from costing you approximately 10,000 dollars over to course of its lifetime to closer around 100,000. This article describes some of those costs if you are interested. Now, this is all very interesting, but you really want to get a good healthy dog, so what do you do?


The next thing you might try is going online. If you use a search engine, it is likely you will come up with about the same results you found in the newspaper: people who know where to advertise, but not necessarily how to keep and breed dogs. The AKC has a new listing, which is very interesting, called the �breeders of merit�. When it first came out, I thought it might be a really promising way of researching who has new litters out, but the search functions of this program has been severely limited. What this does give is another way to recognize reputable breeders, based on certain measurable criteria set up by the AKC. Another way to look up breeder is by looking up the national breed club. These breed clubs are usually listed under �breed name� Club of America and can be found through the AKC website or through a search engine. Usually these have links to both breeders and also regional clubs. This is also a great place to find links to breed specific rescues.


Regional Clubs are going to be the easiest way to find a reputable breeder. Regional clubs are local, small, and usually everyone knows everyone else. The thing about regional clubs and in fact all dog breeders, is that they are all allergic to the internet and I am not going to put much stock in their love of phones either. By fat the best way to get a puppy from a breeder is to go to a dog show and ask the people showing at the time. It is best to go to the regional specialty, seeing as everyone will be there and there will probably be a few people with a both ready to answer any questions for you. These people will know who is breeding when and they can give you a phone number and start you on the interview process.
