Dogs are considered as man's best friend. Deciding to own one
whether it is big or small involves a lot of responsibility. It
is not just about feeding it but includes other chores such as
grooming, watching its health and diet, cleaning up after it and
most importantly, giving it some tender loving care. There are
many places one can get a dog such as a kennel or the pet store
but if one wants to get a pure bred animal, one must seek a
reputable breeder to get the best results.
Finding the right breeder for the dog depends on the breed that
one selects. Professional breeders do not breed frequently and
will only do so when a pair is found to be healthy and
temperament that will insure the birth of also

healthy
offspring. Breeders will also breed only when a sufficient
number of homes have been evaluated and deemed appropriate.
Given that there is no standard as to what a standard breeder
is, one should do research by asking people and interviewing as
many breeders as possible before making a decision. There are
many categories of the type of breeders in the market and by
knowing which one is the best and understanding the
consequences; this will make all the difference of the type of
offspring that will be produced.
The ideal breeder should have the pair of dogs tested for every
possible disease as well as have all the information regarding
the pair's ancestors and health records on file. Should a
breeder find no problem in

the history of the pair, one must
still ask details to be sure. This is one sign that shows the
breeder the interest of a potential owner of such a magnificent
and smart animal. One can also ask the people who have be given
offspring's in the past to check if there were any problems
since the breeder maintains a close relationship with these dog
owners.
Reputable breeders have certain requirements that one must have
before qualifying as a potential dog owner. These are usually in
the form of written contracts or guarantees with a spay or
neuter requirement that limits the registration of the puppies.
This is done both for the protection of the owner as well to
control a possible overpopulation problem.
The person who wants a

dog must have a secured backyard and
attend certain classes such a puppy kindergarten to be familiar
with the challenges one will face come the time the dog has been
given.
The requirements needed by the breeder is not to delay the
process of giving one a dog but to ensure that the person is
aware of what will happen as a dog owner and the
responsibilities that come with it as well as make sure that the
puppies will have good homes. This is what makes responsible
breeders different from others who are not since these people
are not concerned about the health or welfare of the dogs but
are just in it to earn money.
Once a person is able to find the ideal breeder, the waiting
does not end there. Since the demand for the

well sought after due to the selective nature of the breeding
practices, the newborn pups will still have to be raised with
the breeder and will only be released when a number of
pre-screened homes have been found. If one does the all the
research, it is possible that one will qualify as part of that
list.
One of the most critical factors in identifying a good breeder
aside from the health and food given is the condition of the
mother after birth and how well are the puppies taken cared of.
The best way to do this is if the breeder is nearby so one can
visit the place from time to time and monitor the condition of
the puppies.
Another good quality of a responsible breeder is the voluntary
assistance provided

to the owners of the puppies. If the
placement of the puppy did not work out as hoped with a certain
owner, the breeder can require the person to return the puppy
and provide it with a better home since the life of the puppies
is the responsibility of the breeder throughout the dog's life.
