Selecting a responsible breeder

Responsible breeders are more concerned with the welfare of their dogs than the amount of money they are making.  They breed dogs because they admire their breed and want to contribute to its betterment.  They guarantee their puppies free of genetic diseases that are common in the breed, and will replace the puppy if the disease should crop up.   Look for a breeder who is raising their puppies in a family setting and around people.  If the breeder is using kennels,  check it for cleanliness and any overcrowding.

A good breeder should have some history of breeding dogs.  They may be breeding dogs for show, field work or just good pets.  Check and see how many different breeds the breeder is breeding.   Good breeders generally limit themselves to one (or sometimes two) breeds, because of the time, expense and energy involved in producing superb dogs of that particular breed.  Check and Otherwise the breeder may be operating what is essentially a puppy mill.

They consider puppies that they produce to be their responsibility for the life of that puppy, so they may follow-up frequently to see how everything is going.  They evaluate their puppies as show and breeding quality or pet quality.  Many responsible breeders will sell pet puppies at a lower price than show puppies.

Really good breeders have a good sense of intuition about people.  They will watch how you interact with the puppies, how the puppies act with you, and the behavior and attitudes of your children.  If your children are uncontrolled  and disobedient, chance are your dog will be too, and the breeder may not one of his dogs to be raised in your home.   Expect the breed to ask you some questions as well!
