I feel they are treated more as prized possessions, than loving family members. Also, I’ve never read a breed standard that states that breeds original purpose was to circle the show ring. I find it unnatural.
All I care about, is that the dog is as close to the breed standard as possible, and raised in a warm and caring environment. I can ascertain that myself.
My sister is getting a dove this week, we forgot to ask the breeder exactly how old they are. I know they are babys, typically how old are doves when breeders let them go?

Attending dog shows in your area is a good way to meet breeders in your region. If they are not actively in the ring or preparing to go in the ring, they are usually happy to talk about their dogs.
I provide my vets name and number, and testimonials of past buyers, I also give out numbers to my club and then have a contract for the potential buyer to ensure the dog has a good home, and I have a clams that if they cant care for the dog for any reason I will take it back.
I would like to find some breeders in my area, but I am not really sure where to start. Would the vet be a good resource? Is there a website?
Thanks!

Breed rescue can easily be found pretty much anywhere if you look good enough. What breed are you looking for? Just put the breed and rescue in a search engine and the state you are in and usually it will pop up with a site with contact information. Good breeders have to be located — there are tons of people who profess to be good ones but most aren’t. Most of the breed clubs will have breeder referals but even among those you will have to do your homework and weed out the millers.
I am looking for another puppy, and the breed I am looking for I am having a difficult time finding a breeder/rescue locally. Will a quality breeder list their pups on sites like puppy finder? I worry about mass producers using these types of sites to sell their animals, but I may have to get my puppy this way. Are their any breeders out there that can tell me if they would list on a site like this?

Mixed bloodlines will usually have just two breeds and have the papers to prove that they are the exact breeds you are looking for. A lot of people seel puppies cause their dog ended up getting bred by a dog they weren’t the owners of and are just trying to get rid of them cause they are not pure breeds. Just have to ask for papers and do some research to find the breed you are looking for.
A reputable breeder has no need to list their puppies on puppy finder, because they have people waiting in the line to purchase their dogs. It’s not uncommon to wait 2-3 years for a puppy from a good, reputable breeder.
I would like to get a mixed dog breed and I’ve noticed there are a lot for sale and I need help finding out which breeders are good and which ones are bad.

We are a small show home which is guilty of breeding! We have eleven Yorkies. All loved, spoiled, and very well taken care of. By and large the people who buy show quality or show lines of any breed.
Are not the people who are looking for a pet out of a shelter. I love all animals and yes the shelters are heart breaking. But my point is, bad pet owners are the problem not breeders as a whole. And I am not talking about puppy mills. That is a different subject.

Not all novice breeders are backyard breeders. But most novice breeders don’t do their research or know the breed standard. I owned and showed Jack Russell’s for years before I decided to breed. I researched pedigrees, did genetic testing, found out what problems are common in what bloodlines, and how to find dogs to compliment each other.
I researched for almost two years before I decided to have my first litter. A good breeder will breed to improve upon a breed, not just to have puppies or make money.
If a novice breeder has done their homework and is well educated, why are they considered a back yard breeder. Don’t all good breeders have to start somewhere.I do not breed and never plan to breed, but I was just wondering.
I am an animal advocate, and believe in animal rights, and serve my time to help the abused animals.

Purebred animals have tatoos (or microchips) so you can easily trace them to their breeder and therefore – current owner. WHen we put down purebreds it was usually becuase they were nuts, had been injured or something odd, 90 % of all pet requests were for “purebred” animals so any healthy purebred was easily adopted out.
Some dogs were not necessarily purebreds but certainly looked like it…
Anyhow if you want to blame anyone – blame the BACK YARD BREEDERS – people who just have a “cute” dog or cat and let it breed… Your facts are incorrect.
I’ve looked for them online at multiple websites, and I can’t find any turtle breeders. But there definitely has to be at least ONE in this whole entire state. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or maybe to a turtle rescue or something?

40% of dogs and cats euthanized in shelters every year are PURE BREDS. This is why I do not understand why there are NOT strict laws and regulations regarding breeding. There should only be a certain amount of breeders per state per breed. These people and their facilites should be properly investigated and licenced before becoming one of the “chosen ones”(per-se).
And anyone who is found breeding without a licence should be penalized. The homeless pet population is unacceptable and people who encourage breeders by “buying” their animals, are just contributing to the death of inoccent ones in shelters/rescues.
A perfectly healthy, lovable, young dog is being murdered as we speak just because he couldn’t find a home and breeders think it is ok to bring more and more animals into this world. What can you do to help the homeless/euthanized animal population?
To make a clarification I also helped in a shelter not for very long because I was a basket case everday. In just a few months I saw MANY pure breds murdered. Also, in reponse to the remark that dogs are being sent to other states because there is a shortage, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard…I think you may need to get your facts straight.
Some people are not understanding what I am saying… THERE ARE TOO MANY BREEDERS(including “legitimate breeders”)! There NEEDS to be a certain number of licenced breeders per state/ per A PARTICULAR BREED and the people who “buy” these puppies/kittens should be mandated to sterlize them. Also, a mutt can not help if it is a mutt they are just as cute and lovable as any pure bred and most the time are in better health.
I would also like to know what these breeder enthusiasts think about particular breed rescues. Don’t even try to tell me that breeding is just fine with these “breed specific” rescues are busting at the seams.
The breeder supporters support it simply because they can “buy” a certain animal when and where they want to (instant gratification) instead of finding a truly needy pet that is waiting on death row at a shelter.
