A backyard breeder is one who just breeds for the money and doesnt care about the breed.

In my humble opinion, education, education and education to anyone you meet or comments on the beauty of your dog (mutt or pedigree). My wife and I are Boxer lovers since our first Boxer 16 years ago we found on the side of the road. We now have two new Boxers we chose to rescue. We both did much research on Boxers and their standards and also on rescue organizations. We have choose to spend time talking to people who take interest in our dogs when we go for walks or on trips. We share information, work hard to not judge and simply provide the best possible information from: “What questions to ask of a breeder…” to “Where to rescue a Boxer….” It is amazing how receptive people are to learning and my wife and I hope we just helped a dog or puppy find a forever home reduced the risk of someone buying a Boxer from a bad breeder and maybe even rescued a Boxer!

There is no profit in breeding. Unless if someone breeds there dogs more then once a year. Mine is every 2 years. I think that should be plenty. yes I also agree that some reputable breeders should be investigated I have seen many breeders with dogs hooked out and they are just fed and watered. They take them off the chain for a bath and brushing once a week, then they go back to the chain, until they need them for showing or breeding. No one loves these dogs yet they are getting $800 a puppy unlike me who gets $400 a puppy and I make sure that my dogs go to good homes. I also bring the puppies in from the time they are 2 weeks old for a few minutes to a time and allow kids to touch them. From the age of 6 weeks to 8 weeks old my kids are allowed to play with them daily so they are use to people and kids. This is not done with most reputable breeders.

You want a breeder that loves there dogs not shows them then sends them back to breeder hell as we so much call it.Believe me 50% of reputable breeders make there dogs live like that.

I agree and disagree, I have been in the business of breeding for many years. All of my dogs have been health checked. I show only 2 of my 4 dogs. Not all 4 dogs. Because to me it is to much on the dogs to take them to places where there are hundreds of dogs. The last dog show that I went to there was over 250 dogs being showed. My male dog still is having problems after his last showing. I will never show my dogs again due to this. Some people do not control there animals at the shows, and that is what happend at the last show my Husky was attacked by a great dane and when I get out the brush to start grooming him now he cowers.

Now on the other hand I happened to see a lady whom I know showing her Shetie. Well Yes she is a registered breeder, and she has registered dogs yet the last that I knew having dogs in pet carriers in an old barn and taking them out just to breed and to show, was called animal abuse yet this woman sells tons of puppies becouse she goes to the buyers homes instead of them coming to her home. She was closed down 2 months ago after I once again Reported her for animal abuse, she also had all 5 children taken away when they saw what type of surroundings they were living in. Yet this is what most people call a true breeder???? I have to laugh. I am sorry but my Siberians Are much more healthy and well taken care of then her dogs ever were. Please buy puppies from people whom love there dogs,and take care of the, not people who keep them in the barn in a carrier. Alot of breeders have nice looking dogs they will show you in photos yet if you saw the real dog in person the dog would most likely be just like Sherries were. Which once again sent more dogs to the kill shelter. My dogs sit with me in front of the air when its hot, they also are treated like a part of the family. true breeders dont do that because show dogs have to be treated different then a family dog. Rent the movie big red it may help you to learn about the old ways and still ways of breeding and raising showdogs. My mom wouldnt even allow us kids to play with her precious show dogs. So how do you know those dogs will be good around kids? You dont.

Excellent post, Greg, I think you summed up everyone’s sentiments, and perhaps a bit more, very nicely.
