To insure the continuation of their line, breeders breed every litter with one goal - quality. They are trying for that exceptional puppy that will be the cornerstone of their next generations. The better the breeding the better the pet class of puppy! Of course there are good and bad in any field so look at the kennel, the mom (dad may be from another kennel) and ask for health certificates. Statement Reality "I don't want a show dog, just a pet" I bet you want a quality dog, healthy, with a known background and temperament - A breeder wants and breeds for this. "The breeder interrogated me like I was adopting a child" To a caring breeder every puppy is their child. Most have more offers to buy puppies than are available and want the right home. "A established pet shop is better than a back yard breeder" I use to believe this till I found the many pet shops are just retail brokers that know nothing of the history or background of the puppies. A breeder has raised and lived with the puppies and parents. A reputable breeder will show you the kennel, let you meet the parents and has health records for the line. "The breeder put me through a barrage of questions about my family, yard, work schedule, smoking and more - why" That is a sign the breeder cares about the homes their puppies go to. Even in just a few weeks a breeder gets attached to each and every puppy and wants the best  homes. Many breeders even require you to return the dog if you can not keep it. And expect a contract covering your responsibilities!  Click Here to go to the Breeder Listings [Breeders - add your link] The Most important steps for finding a dog breeder   by Ispas Marin Generally people are very keen on animals, dogs especially,wanting to have one in their apartments or houses.
