Contact the AKC for a list of registered breeders in your area and then use that list to check on hre and see if anyone has gotten a puppy or dog from those people...its actually a pretty small world you might be surprised how many people on here have gotten their dogs from the same kennels...plus when you use the AKC's registered breeders and kennels you are getting some sort of verification and they send you out information on what to ask a breeder and look for...like their Department of Health inspections reports, lists of any violations with local animal control, a genetic history of your dog's line etc... |
