Question

im thinong about buying a dog and i need help finindg a dog breeder in my area. I would like to be able to see the dog before i get him so that i know what hes like.

Answer 1

Plenty of dogs at your local shelter that need good homes  :)

Answer 2

A puppy will change as it grows.  A dog from a shelter is-what-it-is.  If you don't like surprises - well lets just say puppies are FULL of surprises!  

Go to your local ASPCA/Humane Society!

Answer 3

Go to your local shelter, theres 1000's of varieties of dogs there.

All pretty cheap too. Plus on top of that, they're already housebroken.

Answer 4

Go to akc.org  You can find a list of breeders there, very likely one in your area.  If there isn't one close by, email some of the closest ones and ask if they can recommend someone closer to you.  Breed rescue is listed there, too.  Breeders will email you photos of puppies and tell you all about them.  Happy hunting!

Answer 5

your best bet is to figure out what breed you are interested in..  then find the breed's parent club and get a referral to a reputable breeder from them.

A good breeder is one who shows their dogs, earns titles on their names.. and does genetic health testing to assure health dogs.
