I agree with most everyone.
I agree with breeding responsibly -- responsibly as in : Dogs have certificates for checked eyes, hips, elbows ETC....Dogs are good quality in something (ie. conformation, agility, herding, diving, flyball)....Dogs are vet checked ATLEAST twice a year....Dogs have the right amount of exersise, food, etc needed for the breed....Breeder specializes in one breed only....The dogs are given out to screened homes that the breeder has visited and confirmed are safe and happy environments....Dogs and puppies have pedigrees, papers, and are registered....Breeders do it ONLY for the love and improvement of the breed....Breeders educate others on the breed, and give helpful hints as to why buying from a good breeder is better than a backyard breeder....Breeder does not care for profit....Parents and other pet/breeder dogs are shown at the time of buying the puppy....Puppies are sold somewhat expensively to give owners a chance to realize how expensive the pup will be in the long run....Breeders check the liability of owners with references, and possibly even know the amount of money going into their homes per year....
Much MUCH more
A good breeder never does something for experience. A backyard breeder does. A good breeder never breeds just because they want to know what it's like, or they want to see what their dogs' pups will look like. Backyard breeders do those things. I don't agree with backyard breeding. Anyone may do what they like, but personally I believe it should be illegal to breed without a licence.
It's more at times like these that I wish there was a program on the computer that would tell you exactly what your dog's puppies would like like when paired with another dog![]()
