Sadly, finding a reputable breeder can be quite a chore. You will not find a reputable breeder though a pet store. Pet stores sell puppies that they receive from “backyard breeders,” and “puppy mills.” These terms get thrown around a lot, and not many people actually know what they are.
A “backyard breeder” can be anyone- your neighbor, coworker, anyone. They have a couple pets and decide to breed them- thinking they’ll make a lot of money. Any cretin can breed dogs, but doing it correctly takes quite a bit of time, knowledge, and money. Backyard breeders may adore their pets, but they can’t seem to realize that they are only making things difficult for the dogs. Not only does breeding incorrectly put the health of the dogs in jeopardy, but it creates more pets that are at a high risk of having health and temperament problems. These poorly bred dogs are also more likely to end up in shelters or abused, neglected, and running the streets since most backyard breeders don’t properly screen potential owners.
