thank you so much! this info. is really helpful.
i've visited a couple of show/hobby breeders this weekend. and another breeder who no longer shows, but used to. ( i know that just because a breeder show their dogs doesn't mean they are the best breeder and that just because a breeder doesn't show his/her dog, it also doesnt' mean he/she is not a good breeder)
i am trying to look for a good breeder, and honestly, i was surprised when i saw a kennel this weekend. i have never seen a kennel before, so my first thought was "is this a puppy mill!?"
but the breeder was really nice, and really willing to share info. about her vet's contact info. and the pedigree of her dogs.
so i think she is a good breeder and my first impression of the kennel is a little off because i have never seen a kennel before.
the kennel was clean, and there wasn't any bad smell. she said the dogs are let outside a couple of times a day.
she has indoor expens, some wall cages, and she also had expens out doors, and a fenced-in grass area.
so i think this is probably what a 'good kennel' would look like?
i just want to make sure. and after seeing a kennel this weekend,
it made me really interested to learn what a good kennel should look like.
thanks!
