Nothing is black and white. You can't automatically claim that a breeder is not reputable because they let pups go at 8 weeks old. Many many small breeds leave at 8 weeks old and are absolutely fine. Is it IDEAL? Maybe not. But it IS legal and not every puppy benefits from staying with mom through 12 weeks. A person breeds two breeds does NOT make a person automatically non-reputable. Sometimes what happens is, someone is involved in one breed and then gradually switches to another, but they still may have a few litters of the first breed, and so on, there's just SO many variables, you can't judge based upon that. Same with websites -- some of the best breeders have the crappiest websites, some of the worst breeders have the best websites and vice versa. It's simply impossible to tell. |

I disagree with both of you. There are definitely things that jump out on breeder sites....just like on rescue sites. There is good and bad in everything. I look at the whole site....and not just what the breeders are breeding...I am interested in HOW they place their puppies. Many just want money and to me that puts them in the disreputable category period! Same thing with rescues...I can look at the site...check out their application and their adoption procedures and get a general idea of what they are doing.
