Please read before contacting any breeder listed on the Dog Breed Info Center®

It is your sole responsibility to fully investigate any breeders that you may adopt a puppy from. The Dog Breed Info Center® does not endorse, guarantee or recommend any particular breeders or their dogs and we are not responsible for any of the breeders listed. Breeders listed are not examined by independent authorities or by the Dog Breed Info Center®. We STRONGLY recommend that you do your homework before adopting a puppy. Fully check out the breeder you are dealing with. Ask them if they require spaying or neutering of their pups. Ask them if they do DNA testing before breeding and how much in-breed, line-breed or cross-breeding they do. Find a breeder that seems to care about the welfare of the puppy they are adopting out. If the breeder does not ask you any questions about your home life and the conditions the puppy will be living in, our advice is to steer clear of that breeder. A good breeder cares where their puppies end up. Look for a breeder that is willing to take a puppy back in a case of bad health or homes that do not work out. A good breeder will care about their puppies and will not want it to end up in the pound. Ask the breeder about the health of the puppies parents and grandparents. This will tell you a lot about the health of the puppy. Ask the breeder if they do rescue work. A good breeder will do some sort of rescue in the breed they are breeding and sometimes in other purebreds and mixed breeds as well. Whether it be taking in unwanted pets or offering verbal advice to people who need help in their breed. Any breeder who is willing to bring more puppies into an already over populated world should also be involved in helping the unwanted dogs in at least the breed they are breeding. A good breeder should never get annoyed at your questions even if they appear to be petty. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. You should feel comfortable asking the breeder any questions that are on your mind. If the breeder makes you feel uncomfortable asking any questions related to the puppy, steer clear.

When you are looking to adopt your new puppy. BE SMART. Do your homework. Investigate the breeder and the breed you are looking to adopt. All breeds are different and require different types of homes and owners. We recommend you go to sites such as the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints filed against any breeder you are thinking about adopting a puppy from.

Dog Breed Info Center® will not knowingly list puppy mills or breeders that engage in dog fighting practices. If in our opinion, it is proven a breeder is a puppy mill or engages in dog fighting the ad will be promptly removed. Complaints about breeders will be investigated. Complaints must be accompanied by proof of abuse or neglect. i.e. police report, humane society investigation and conviction. However it is still your sole responsibility to make sure for yourself that the breeder you are dealing with is a good legitimate breeder practicing in responsible breeding.
