Choosing A Trustworthy Labrador Retriever Breeder

By Douglas Perry


It can be a bit difficult for individuals to find the right dog for their family. The reason behind this is that there are countless of breeders out there advertising on telephone poles, in newspapers and on the Internet. To find the right one, they need to follow some tips.

It is advisable for them to find the national breed club website of the raiser once they have to decide on the breed. Individuals can definitely find a lot of breeders on this page that are currently members of the club. They can ask about the upcoming litters by dropping each Labrador Retriever breeder a friendly email.

It would be best for people to keep in mind that reputable breeders are not always equipped with litters. In most instances, they are going to recommend other raisers who can accommodate their needs sooner. Since the dog will spend a great amount of time with them, the process should not be rushed.

Great breeders would not mind answering questions especially when it comes to diet, personalities of the dogs and health issues. It would be best for people to make a list of questions. Contacting the raiser should only be done after they have done their research about the breed. This way, they can come up with suitable inquiries to make. One thing they have to keep in mind is that the raiser will probably ask them questions too because good breeders are after the welfare of their dogs. As potential parents, people should be able to answer the questions. As a matter of fact, a number of breeders prefer to meet the entire family.

Be very observant. Look around and be sure to meet at least the mother of the dogs. If you are lucky to meet both the father and mother, then great. The puppy should not only be well cared for and clean, it has to possess the qualities you want in a dog. The area where they are kept has to be clean and well maintained at the same time.

Individuals should expect to pay a decent amount for a dog especially when they get one from a reputable raiser. Good breeders are not too concerned about making profits. They are more concerned about the high quality diet for the dogs, registration of the litters, veterinary trips for the puppies, prenatal care for the dam and cost of genetic health screenings for the parents. Individuals also get a lifetime of support about the needs of their dogs whenever they have questions when they buy it from knowledgeable and active raiser.

In case individuals cannot keep the dogs, responsible breeders will always take them back no matter what the situation is. Of course, this is not to provide them with an easy way out. The reason behind this is that good breeders love their dogs and are very concerned about how the latter are doing all the time.

Puppies with limited registration are sold by most reputable breeders. They sell puppies on a neuter or spay contract. Not all dogs are worthy of being bred. In addition, only the experts know about their subject matter. The breeders might make individuals sign a contract before receiving a registration certificate. However, not all breeders deal with this the same way.
