Being a new Exhibitor myself I have learned so much in the past 6 months. Volume Breeder's are not my choice and I feel they may be breeding for the income. When buying a dog the first thing you look at is the Kennel Name. From there you can start your research. Are they a YTCA Member? How many litters per year? How many times per year is the bitch bred? How many bitches?How many dogs? What age do they retire their dogs and Bitches? Size, Weight, Hereditary diseases, Cleanliness, the dogs quarters,(love google earth) Are they breeding for the standard or for tiny's? With a little research you can tell if they are money driven breeders. Also, it takes a lot of time and money to Champion a Dog. Lissette
