Tips For Selecting The Right Standard Poodle Breeder

By Steven Davis


If you are considering buying a dog for the family, there are many things to put into perspective. One of the most important factors to consider is where to buy the dog. When looking for an adult dog, you might want to consider rescue centers. However, working with a standard poodle breeder offers the chance to match the needs of the family to the traits of the dog.

It does not matter whether you have already set your mind on a specific breed or are still looking for one. Dog shows will provide the perfect opportunity to meet different breeds. You will be in a position to assess the temperament of the dog in an environment full of stress. It might also give you insights into how the dog will turn out when introduced to the family as a puppy.

Do not forget to include the internet in your quest for purebred puppies. Breeders who know their role in informing prospective clients will keep an informative website. Take time to peruse those websites for any information assuring you of the effectiveness of breeders in question. One of the things to look for is whether they have won any awards in the past.

You do not only want someone who is active in the industry but one who can assure you of the health status of their puppies. Whenever breeders have a litter of puppies, they will be sure to display health clearances on their websites. Anyone not displaying that information is hiding something. Be keen on scores for hip and elbow clearances for the parents. Screening is important before breeding takes place, regardless of the breed.

It has become common practice for different industry players to register with associations and umbrella organizations in their industry. In this case, you should be making sure all prospective dog breeders are registered members of associations with a national scope. It helps to give assurance the breeders are following standard practices in offering purebred puppies. Be sure to rule out those without any membership affiliations.

Take time to contact the organization they are affiliated to find out if any complaints have been lodged against them. Breeders who have too many complains from customers cannot be trusted to sell you the kind of puppy suitable to your family needs. Chances are you will end up with several complains just like other customers. In essence, you will want to avoid breeders with low ratings.

Apart from using personal websites and affiliated associations, referrals have been a great method of finding the right service providers. If you know of a few people in your area keeping a similar dog breed to what you need to purchase, it will help to find out from them where they purchased theirs. If the puppy was in perfect health, you could also consider buying from the same person.

Do not forget to check out other red flags when selecting ideal breeders. The best ones will show the progeny of the breed they have produced. You want to avoid breeders who claim to produce many breeds they have not displayed on their websites.
