By Steven Davis


Buying a puppy for the family is not one of the easiest tasks. To begin with, there are many options with how one can purchase a dog. You can opt to rescue an adult dog though it may not fit the needs of your family. When looking for a choice matching the needs of your home environment, be sure to go with purebred dogs. Here is how to choose a reliable standard poodle breeder.

Many of those seeking to buy dogs do not know the right place to begin their search. Consider researching on upcoming dog shows in your area. This is an ideal chance to meet the adult dog of the breed you are interested in. Take time to see how the dog behaves in a high-stress environment. Additionally, you will meet various breeders and compare the dogs they have brought to the show.

Almost anyone can choose to start breeding dogs, as long as they can access the parent dogs. However, this does not make them the right persons to purchase from. In that regard, check to see whether they have a well-managed website. The site should contain information pointing to their activities in the canine community. If they are not active in the dog breeding industry, go to the next one.

Besides being actively engaged in the industry, the right breeders will not hesitate to display health clearances for the stock they have. In addition, you need to know the accepted scores for various clearances such as hip and elbow. If you are looking at specific breed issues in the puppy to purchase, make sure there is provision for routine examination, or DNA testing where necessary.

It has become common practice for different industry players to register with associations and umbrella organizations in their industry. In this case, you should be making sure all prospective dog breeders are registered members of associations with a national scope. It helps to give assurance the breeders are following standard practices in offering purebred puppies. Be sure to rule out those without any membership affiliations.

If the breeder is affiliated to a particular umbrella body, be sure to contact the organization. You want to find out information regarding the breeders in question. If you discover so many customers have lodged complaints about the specific breeders, be sure to strike them off your list. There is no guarantee they will not do the same to you. You want to work with someone who can be trusted.

Another option to finding great breeders for the puppy you need is getting referrals. You must know a handful of friends, family or even neighbors owning a similar breed to the one you want. The best move is getting information as to where they bought their puppies. In addition, you will want to know if the puppy had any health complications at the time of purchase.

Do not forget to check out other red flags when selecting ideal breeders. The best ones will show the progeny of the breed they have produced. You want to avoid breeders who claim to produce many breeds they have not displayed on their websites.
