What  Responsible breeders Do!

• They choose breeding stock carefully, with an eye to physical and temperamental soundness. They choose a stud because he is complementary to the bitch and not because he is nearby, popular or cheap.
  
  
• They breed only for the purpose of preserving or improving the breed and never for ego satisfaction, financial gain or "because she/he ought to be bred at least once". They provide the bitch with a warm, safe, comfortable place to whelp and care for her pups.
  Provides pre- and post-natal veterinary care for the bitch and her pups. They begin a vaccination & worming program before the bitch is bred and continue it when the pups are the proper age. They are to supply previous buyers as references and not just those who bought show dogs or who co-own dogs with the breeder.
  
  
•  They are very concerned that all pups are placed in suitable homes. To that end, personal interviews with buyers are conducted with information requested about life-style, children, other animals, fencing and general knowledge of the breed.
  
  
•  They provide proper contracts, guarantees, health certificates for parents and pedigree all in writing and understood by all concerned. They accepts life-long responsibility for the pups' welfare, assisting when necessary in finding a suitable new home for dogs whose family circumstances change.
  
  
• They stay in touch with puppy-buyers, get regular updates and are always available for help and advice for the lifetime of their progeny.

They breed for the love of their breed!
