When purchasing a puppy from a breeder, it’s important to recognize a good breeder from a bad breeder. Bad breeders are identified as individuals who breed puppies ceaselessly with little care as to the inherited traits of the puppies from the parents. Bad breeders might breed dogs that have undesirable traits, not just cosmetic, but including serious medical conditions. Good breeders take care in breeding their dogs and ensure that puppies receive the proper care.
One clear indication of a bad breeder is an unwillingness to meet a potential client at their home. Bad breeders often run operations where dogs and puppies are forced to live in unsanitary conditions. If a breeder is unwilling to meet at their home, look elsewhere. When you do arrive at a breeder’s home, make sure to inspect the premises. Recognize odors, bad smells, or an excess of fragrance spray. You should also examine the conditions under which the dogs live, and determine if it is at all unsanitary. Be sure to ask to see where the dogs and the puppies reside when not out. It’s also a good idea to ask the breeder for references. Breeders of unique or less common dogs, like a breeder of Labradoodles, might be hard to find, but it’s still important to ensure they adhere to the same standards before purchasing a puppy.
