How To Chose a Breeder
I'll be researching Rhodesian Ridgeback breeders in the near future. The
problem is, I've never gotten a dog as a puppy, let alone a purebred from a reputable breeder. What sort of things do you look into when choosing breeders? How to you tell if Breeder A is better than Breeder B? Breeder basics is what I'm after. TIA |

TIA I joined a breed specific list while researching my breed ~ there were a number of breeders on the list, but by spending time discussing 'dog stuff' with different members on the list I got a good feel for which breeders would be better for the kind of dog we were looking for. I couldn't be happier with my pup, so it worked well for us. Diana |

Go to a reputable site such as http://www.akc.org/ or
http://www.ckc.ca/ all others are just copying from these sites and/or are just the opinions of the author of the site. Ignore them and use reputable web sites only for your research! Good luck. http://Bichon.ca/ On Sun, 30 Nov 2003 14:40:40 GMT, "C. L." wrote: I'll be researching Rhodesian Ridgeback breeders in the near future.

Ignore them and use reputable web sites only for your research! Did you even look at the sites that were recommended? I've got to doubt it because you comments certainly don't apply, such as in the collected Code of Breeder Ethics agreements at the dog-play.com site. I can't think of any better source of real help for someone about to buy their first well-bred pup. Lynn K. |

I have no idea what you are talking about. What sites? http://www.akc.org/ http://www.ckc.ca/ are reputable sites period. You will get solid information with out some person's opinion added in. Some joe blows site has nothing to do with what i posted to the person asking the question. Diane's website (http://www.dog-play.com/) is chock-a-block with good, solid information on all things dog, including information on what to look for in a responsible breeder. How rude of you to make assumptions about me. To many childish people here doing that now. no need to assume anything about you, as it's all archived by Google.
