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.
