15 Signs of a Good Dog Breeder

If you haven't already adopted your dog, or selected your dog for adoption, please consider adopting a rescue dog instead of going to a breeder or a pet store. If you are adamant on getting a puppy or kitten from a breeder, then make sure that you do your research, and find a reputable one.

These are the 15 Signs that you’ve found a good breeder:

• The Breeder will greet you in their house and not somewhere else.

• The puppies will live in the house and be handled often, as pet who is born into family life has a better shot at growing up relaxed and friendly.

• The parents will be on site, and you will be able to meet them, meeting the father may not be possible, but you should certainly meet the mother.

• The place is clean and safe, and that they’re supplied with fresh water, beds, and toys. Is there a toilet area in the puppy living quarters for housetraining

• There will be minimal numbers of litters from mom, and the number of litters available for adoption will be limited.

• The parents’ health clearances will be available for you and parent and grandparent dogs were tested for hereditary problems

• The puppies will be genetically tested or come with a health guarantee

• The breeder will refer you to past clients to speak with

• The breeder will show knowledge of the breed, and be honest about its advantages and drawbacks, whether that means a tendency to develop certain health problems or a temperament

• The breeder will take the dog back if you are unable to care for it.

• The breeder will insist on keeping the puppy until it is at least 8 weeks old with his first round of vaccinations

• A responsible breeder will not have numerous breeding pairs of dogs (If they do, it is another red flag) 

• The breeder will be available for assistance after you take your puppy or kitten home and offer guidance for the care and training

• The breeder has participated in shows or competitions, this show that the breeder is motivated by enthusiasm for the breed.

Your purpose for adopting (Is this strictly a family pet, or are you planning on showing the dog?)d. Your experience with dogs or with the breede.
