What do you think about this breeder?

Question

I appreciate your questions and would not have it any other way. After puppies are born, I start screening potential puppy buyers. They come for a visit to see puppies. My kids only go to the best homes. There is a questionaire to fill in.

You can see by my web page, that I do all events with my dogs. The last few years have benn devoted to my poodles(# 1 in Canada, one yesr and # 2 a couple years ( all breeds) I am now working with my goldens(there is only so much time and money) I breed for dogs that can reach these high goals. pretty, healthy dogs that can work and yet be a joy to live with. The puppies are evaluated by me and place in the most suitable homes for what they would like in a dog. I show my dogs in conformation, agility, tracking, field, obedience and rally.

I have never had any health issues. All dogs are acreedned for hips, health, eyes and heart, and come with 2 yr guarantee. All paper work goes with the puppy packet. They are sold as pets (unless a show prospect) on a spay/neuter contract.

The biggest draw back with the breed, is the shedding.

I belong to CKC and GRCA, thats what she sent to me

Answer 1

I personally would not spend money on a dog that is registered with ckc as they accept anything and will give anyone registration

Answer 2

To me, I would be weary until I saw the premises. It APPEARS that she is breeding to better the breed, but nicely worded emails can be the fault of thousands of dollars.

Don't drop ANY money on a puppy until you see ALL the dogs on the premises, and you can see proof of the clearances and certifications she talks about. Contact her vet to make sure the papers aren't fraud.

Answer 3

She looks like she would be legit but I agree with everyone else get out there and meet her dogs. Ask for references from people that have bought puppies from her in the past and see how they feel about her now.

PS CKC (Canadian), AKC, other CKC, FCPR, UKC, FCI and all the other registries are all driven by money. Don't for a minute think that they don't all have black marks on their records for doing things they know are not in the best interest of the members.

Answer 4

TYPICALLY, true, responsible breeders stick to ONE breed, and they dedicate their life to it.

It's really easy to shnazz up an email with awesome words.  Check out the facilities, see the parents, the pups, see the titles the dogs have earned, etc. to make sure she's telling the truth.  Any good breeder would be MORE than willing to show you this stuff.

I assume she means Canadian Kennel Club, right?

Answer 5

Sounds good, except the CKC part.... I'm hoping she means Canada! :) Sounds like she does.... Unless she is breeding Goldendoodles. Yuck!

Answer 6

It sounds good. I would also contact breed registrar  an inquire of any complaints.  Also if vet  records  are  up to date and if his  reputation is  OK.  

Answer 7

Sounds good to me. I didn't see any red flags and she points out all the things you should look for: health tests, spay/neuter contract, showing, evaluation of potential buyers. I'm assuming CKC means Canadian Kennel Club, which is a reputable registry. I would be willing to buy a dog from this breeder, but I would certainly go see her operation in person first. If I were you I would call some of the contacts listed on the GRCA website and ask about her reputation. If everything checks out, go for it. Enjoy your puppy!

Answer 8

I believe that the AKC and the UKC are the only two pet registries that have a good reputation and REAL breed standards.  It sounds like they are good puppies.  I tend to believe that a breeder should not breed more than one type of breed at once, and I sure hope they are not breeding golden-doodles.  I know the CKC is one of the only registries that accepts those types of dogs.

Answer 9
