| where do you find out about dog breeders? |
| I have joined breed forums online. |
| Go to a show. You can find schedules on infodog. Or find some champions on the AKC website and branch out from there. What breed? |
| Go to the AKC website and there will often be links to approved breeders. |
This is great advice. I used the AKC website too, but never thought of going to a show. |
| Once I decided what breed I wanted, I began asking people I saw out walking that particular breed where they got their dogs. Did on line research and then finally contacted breeders directly with questions. |
| Go to your chosen breed club website and look for 'breeder referral' or 'puppy coordinator' ... and then call them. They'll be able to tell you which breeders have current/upcoming litters available. |
| Go to a shelter and save a life! |
| Check out westminster show results page. You will instantly find serious top breeders that have generations of health and temperament tested dogs. You dont have to end up with a show puppy on your hands, every litter will have pet quality puppies. |
And you'll be missing out on plenty of serious/top breeders who didn't have dogs entered at Westminster this year. This is stupid... |
