Differentiating between a backyard breeder and a reputable breeder can be a challenge, however, there are indicators. A reputable breeder will have extensive knowledge about the breed, prioritize health screenings and genetics, allow or insist on visits to see where the dogs live, and ask you numerous questions about your suitability as a dog-owner. Backyard breeders typically do not meet these standards.
Finding a good breeder in your area requires research. Referrals from experienced dog owners, veterinarians, or local breed clubs are great starting points. You can also check for breeders registered with recognized kennel clubs, such as the American Kennel Club.
