We really might be able to make a short list that would be a help in locating a trustworth breeder without making a cheat sheet for unreputable breeders.
I realize that perhaps we could unknowingly be helping disreputable ones to clean up their sites as it was jokingly suggested to me.
Come on Girls - there are enough of us old timers on here to come up with a way to help the uninformed be able to sort out a good breeder from the many many puppy mills on the web and other places all over this country.
Also to address another issue - When i guarantee a puppy ( as i do guarantee every puppy i sell or place ) then my contract states what must be done for me to know the puppy has a problem ( ie: confirmed by a vet ) and that i replace if customer wants or will refund the purchase price and if they choose , they can keep puppy. Now that being said , I can truthfully tell you and my records will prove that in all these years , I have had one puppy that was born with a enlarged heart ( that did not show on his xray untill he was 4 mo old and was starting to have a problem ) - that puppy was replaced. ( I had previously as i do with all my dogs , had both parents tested for every thing that can be tested for - so the vet determined that this was just one of those things that can happen.)
