An accountable breeder welcomes prospective puppy owners to visit them and their kennels, and will want to get to know you, your family, and your lifestyle.
When discussing purchasing a puppy from an accountable breeder you should expect a thorough evaluation process.
One of a breeder’s primary goals should be to breed healthy, balanced and sound puppies. One of the ways to achieve this is through health and genetic testing.
At a minimum, your puppy should come home with their first set of vaccinations, vet records and a unique identifier such as a microchip.
Most accountable breeders are entrenched in activities revolving around their dogs and their breeds, demonstrating how passionate they are.
