Rescue can be a very rewarding experience. Please consider a rescue dog when looking for a cavalier companion. To find out more, visit the rescue links listed on our links page and watch the video below.
A Responsible Breeder:
Screens their dogs for genetic health problems by certified specialists. They should be able to tell you about the genetic problems in the breed and be able show proof that the parents of the litter are free of those problems prior to breeding.
Will usually insist puppies sold as pets be spayed/neutered and placed on an AKC limited registration. The limited registration makes the dog exempt from having any of its offspring registered by the AKC.
Will usually take back any dog of their breeding at any age. Reputable breeders do not want to find out a dog they bred has been left in a pound or dumped by the roadside. They assume a lifetime. responsibility for the canine lives they have put on this earth.
Would never sell puppies through a pet shop, animal broker, or laboratory. They would NEVER import puppies from other countries to resell.
Does not breed "puppies for profit" or so "our children can experience the miracle of birth." A reputable breeder breeds to advance their breeding program and for their love and devotion to their breed.
Usually only breeds a litter if they intend on keeping something out of the litter. They are breeding to further improve their breeding program, not just to produce puppies for pet buyers.
Should be knowledgeable about the breed standard.
Should be able to provide you with a pedigree of the puppies, not just a copy of the parents registration papers. A pedigree usually has at least three generations of the puppy's ancestors listed.
Does not breed a volume of puppies or multiple breeds (more than two) and NEVER breeds "designer" mixed breed puppies.
Usually participates in some sort of dog related events such as dog shows, obedience, agility, etc..
Is willing to refer you to other reputable breeders if they don't have what you are looking for.
Will ask you questions about your family and home to determine if your lifestyle is suited to the personality of their breed. Some breeders require you to have a fenced yard with secure fencing for the puppies protection. The breeder is always looking for the ideal situation for the puppy. They want the owner and the puppy to be happy.
Believes in service after the sale. If a puppy buyer has grooming questions, feeding questions, or training questions, the breeder will be there for you long after the puppy is no longer a puppy.
