In canada most of us seriously showing our dogs are actually paid members of the Canadian Kennel Club. To start if you are wanting to buy from a breeder in Canada you can contact the Canadian Kennel Club give the name of the breeder, location, address, phone number and if you have it, kennel name you are considering buying from and ask them if that breeder is a 'member in good standing' with the club. If not ask why not have they ever been reprimanded or their membership terminated or suspended.
The Canadian Kennel Club has this feature that will help you research your breeder before you go any further. |
