Backyard Breeder is a term used for breeders of dogs in a largely pejorative sense by the Animal Welfare community, RSPCA, larger established breeders and dog club. It is used to refer to one of the groups usually deemed not to be a Reputable Breeder. It implies either or both of careless home breeding for non-commercial reasons or a small commercial operation that does not adhere to good breeding, care and sale practises. In contrast, larger commercial operations of a similar type are usually termed a puppy mill (especially in North America) or puppy farm. This type of breeder is usually regarded by the Animal Welfare, RSPCA, and canine establishment as likely to exhibit one or more of the following faults: Ignorance of selective breeding goals and techniques, and lack of familiarity with the breed standard of the type of dog being bred. Exclusive focus on the breed standard involving little genetic screening or Co-efficient of Inbreeding calculations. Lack of adequate veterinary care and maintenance. Excessive breeding from individual bitches, to the detriment of their health. Sale of puppies with genetic disorders or undisclosed illnesses before they become evident to buyers. Lack of screening of potential owners or the provision of suitable information to prevent buyers from purchasing a dog that may be inappropriate for them or their lifestyle. Breeding without concern for the possibility of finding homes, though commercial means or otherwise, for the puppies, thus adding to the population of unwanted dogs. There are campaigns to reduce or eliminate this type of breeding in several countries. The primary concern of the Animal Welfare community is that this type of breeding is the major source of pet animals and that overproduction has led to overpopulation and hence to welfare issues and the putting down of animals for no other reason than the lack of suitable home. Most dog breed societies and Kennel Clubs have similar concerns but place rather more stress on issues relating to breed standardisation and quality.
