Does anyone have any opinion about the large amount of pups for under $700? They are not duplicate phone numbers either. I am wondering if some of these people might just be trying to make money and aren't really educated breeders? That kind of person wouldn't care about the bad genes and overbreeding. But how do you tell the difference between the good and the bad breeders other then the obvious? |
I just posted these links on another thread
www.iupui.edu/~ihls400/responsible_breeder.html is a site with articles on selecting a good breeder
and
www.buyingapuppy.com has a good list of questions to ask.
There are a multitude of byb's out there and that's generally what you will find in newspaper ads. Reputable breeders usually have waiting lists, so the trick is to find one and get on it. Best of luck in your search!
