You should be looking for established lines within the pedigree. Then, do research on that breeder(s). What have they accomplished within their breeding program? Are their any CH on the pedigree? How many generations back? Research and find out if those lines have any known health issues. Look to see if there has been any line breeding within the dogs lines, etc. Check to see if the breeders of the dogs listed are USDA registered? Research and see if they have had any complaints filed against them. Contact AKC and see if they are in good standing. |
