BENEFITS OF A PUPPY FROM AN ETHICAL BREEDER

​

Advantages

  • You’re in control of the health of your dog from the beginning. 

  • You’re starting with a “blank slate”, so you’re in control of your dog’s behavior training from the beginning. 

  • You can feel good about supporting an ethical breeder who works hard to be sure he/she places puppies in a forever home. 

 

Disadvantages

  • The cost is usually significantly higher to get a puppy from a breeder.  

​

Knowledge you can gain by asking the following questions:

  • How long have you been a breeder? 

  • Do you dock the tails? (breed specific)

  • Do you remove dew claws? 

  • Are the dogs AKC or CKC registered?

  • Are you able to transport the puppy with a pet nanny?

  • What is your vaccination and de-worming schedule and are you open to working with the new owner on a holistic approach? 

  • Do you have restrictions on breeding rights?

  • Can you tell me about the parent dogs and their lineage (size, health, characteristics, temperament)

  • What's the environment and conditions where the puppies are raised?

  • How often do your dogs and the puppies get regular human interaction, play, and exercise?

  • What do you feed your dogs and puppies?
