A COMPARISON OF: Responsible Hobby Breeders and Backyard Breeders/Irresponsible Breeders

i think that comparison is wrong

that sounds more like show breeder and unethical breeder

i dont show but i have nice dogs that i breed and find great homes for
i am careful for which homes i choose and i have contracts and vet care ..etc... i think that chart in not accurate..i think it needs 3 selections

show breeder. hobby breeder. byb

but i am involved with rescue since i was 12
i am involved with the training and believe i am knowledgable in the breed
i offer breeder support..so even when the puppy leaves i will help with any concerns or problems that arrise
already stated i had references
already stated i do follow ups
contracts
waiting list sometimes
parents on site..all friendly and loving
gee im not doing too bad on that list...just something i choose not to do
i feed good food, that me and vet have chosen together
im a stay at home mom so i am always here with them
i dont even allow visitors so no need to wash hands...no visitors until they puppies have been vaccinated then i use hand santizer
keep my puppies with mom
raised with an active lively family
i match up puppies to customers
dont sell to impulse buyers...its planned out and prepared from birth almost
i interview and check references
careful of homes with children
i dont check income thats rude..if they can afford a yorkie most people are alright to care for it
my contract states these are indoor pets and i am persistent on that but never had a issue on it
my contract explains the time in adjusting, training and behaviors

so yeah im on the first i just dont show, test or check peoples income taxes
