Breeders

Many people think that picking a reputable breeder is only important if they plan to show their dogs. Otherwise, they think, what is the point of spending the extra money when you can easily get a dog from an accidental litter? The benefits of choosing a reputable breeder far outweigh the cost. First, a reputable breeder will know how to properly care for newborn puppies, and will ensure the pups will receive their shots at the right time. The extra cost of a dog bought from a reputable breeder can be made up right here, as it is not uncommon for dogs from amateur or one-time breeders to come with diseases that end up costing the new dog owners thousands. 

While Woodhouse Kennel Club does not endorse one single breeder over another, here are some sites that lead you to organizations which have lists of reputable breeders for some of America’s most popular breeds, as well as some tips for finding a dog breeder you can trust.
