True Breeders and Exhibitors are devoted to producing, through dog pregnancy, the healthiest puppies mentally and physically given current technology and ability. Advances in technology specifically genetic testing for inherited defects is a valuable tool used by breeders. Who is not a true Breeder? There are people who produce puppies who's primary concern is not to produce the healthiest puppies, in mind and body. These are the puppy mill operators who sell to pet stores and careless back yard breeders with a different motivation...breeding to the "market" not the ideal. This means breeding a dog at a specific time of year for better puppy sales. How can you tell if your Puppy is from a true Breeder? Breeders perform a specific breeding of the best male dog to a specific female dog to produce an ideal pup. The outcome of a dog pregnancy should not harm the health of the mother and result in healthy robust puppies. A breeder will "pick" a family to receive a pup whether they sell it as a show dog or as a family pet. The breeder will choose which dog goes to which type of home and they will likely interview you, as the prospective caregiver of a pup, to determine if you should get the pup. They will deliver a healthy, well adjusted, worm free and vaccinated puppy to his or her new home. A friend of mine has raised Springer Spaniels as family pets for years. Following an unexpected loss of their dog Bear (to a rare blood disorder) they searched for a new English Springer. They knew they had a real breeder when the breeder not only interviewed them extensively, but a number of references as well. The breeder was in Florida and they lived in Las Vegas. The breeder would not allow the pup to fly alone...so their daughter flew to Florida to escort the pup to their new home. The breeder has continued to follow up with this family on how the dog is doing in his new home. The breeder has even helped them find a groomer that she approves of to give the dog a proper Springer cut. Now this is a true breeder. Any dog pregnancy in this breeders home is followed up with professional care. |
