Person wanting a dog for ‘image’ reasons should go home from a breeder without a puppy or a respective conditions of care sale contract

An ethical breeder should screen you and get you enough to offer you the tips, tricks, advice, or other resources (books, training classes) that they feel will be necessary for you and the pup to have the best shot at working out well together.

A good quality/ethical breeder might be a person you ask lots of questions before you buy a puppy from them but a good ethical quality/breeder will in turn ask you* several questions to make sure you are capable and wanting to care for the puppy properly.

There is no global decentralised offenders registry for ‘bad actors’ in the world’s dog breeding Industry.

Breeders might charge less for a puppy that has some issue that excludes it from shows altogether (like an unrecognised coat colour, eg: a white German shepherd)

Today owners who abuse dogs are only recorded if reported to that country’s dog protection unit, normally not a governing body but a charity. No blockchain registry exists.

Dogs are thought to have originated some 15,000 yrs ago from China, where researchers believe wolves were first tamed as pets. The first recorded dog show was in the United Kingdom in 1859.

Reason for reduction in price would be some problem like for instance little kink in a tail, or tooth unstraight something that is not affecting the dog’s life.

Things to have in place for a new puppy would include bedding, a play pen, perhaps pee pads, food and water bowls, a regular vet service and often missed, an emergency vet phone number.

A Male that regularly produces champions , when used as the stud to serve a champion Female , will cost the Dams owner more to use because the DNA 🧬 of the offspring in the litter will be of exceptional quality 🐾

A responsible breeder will be able to give you the lineage of the puppy you’re interested in and introduce you to the dog’s parents.

All the health and genetic information should be recorded and stay with the dog if sold .If you bought a house you’d want all the records right ?

Great breeders will interview each customer to ensure their puppies find a loving home.
