Responsible Breeders Do Not!

Reputable Breeders do not:

• sell puppies under the age of 8/9 weeks
• breed from parents that have not been tested free of hip dysplasia and eye disorders
• do not breed puppies purely for financial gain
• sell to agents/dealers/pet shops or sell to buyers they have not met personally and screened for suitability;
  
  

Reputable breeders don't:

• have more than one litter at the same time or continuously advertise puppies for sale
• charge buyers extra if they want a puppy with a Kennel Club registration
• sell puppies without a Kennel Club Registration unless this is clearly explained to the buyer at the time of sale. Unethical breeders go for the "hard sell" approach & try to persuade enquirers to buy one of their puppies as quickly as possible, "before they all go!"; advertise puppies in local free-ad and try to sell the breed as mystical or rare.
• make you secure your puppy with large non refundable deposits and do not take deposits in the post without even meeting the person and vetting them for suitability

Responsible Breeders Do Not Breed For Greed!
