Not having puppies available usually helps in deciding whether to proceed in the interviewing process, develop a relationship and put them on a waiting list. In other words I have time on my puppies side. But, bottom line, I'm still hard line, I have a criteria. Whether or not people want to meet that criteria??????? and they're still my puppies.
Oh! I have no kennel, it's my home, so there are no kennel inspections. |
All excellent suggestions! Some breeders have a specific area where dogs are kept or groomed, some don't. I guess it depends on how many dogs you have. The term "kennel inspection" is generic, kennel just mean the dog's shelter, or where he lives. Doesn't the AKC have "kennel inspections" even though the dogs live in the breeder's home? That's how I was using the term.
