“ Breed right, train well, and unlock the full potential of your dogs. Too many breeders today have lost the essence of their bloodlines simply because they sold their dogs beyond their reach. They let go of every pup without keeping anything back for themselves...no foundation, no future.

You cannot build a legacy if you have nothing to carry it forward. If you believe in your breeding, hold something back. Watch it grow. Train it. Prove it. That’s how bloodlines are preserved. That’s how greatness is built.

Breed with vision. Train with purpose. Keep your legacy alive.”

- my bit to add -
I see so many breeders lately just handing out dogs to anyone and everyone that comes up with the $$, and alot are now labeling their pups as “Perfect for therapy and Assistance dogs” when most don’t even have proven working Lines, and alot of these breeders have no idea what it takes to bring up a litter of prospect pups to give them the best chance at success in that role.
Every dog is amazing in their own way but our lines are from generations of proven working therapy & assistance dogs, our breeding dogs are all trained in one or the other (or both) and this alone is worth more than anything. I have spent the last 6 years researching Lines, dogs, working dogs & associations and still dont even know half of what their is to know but im so thankfull I have a great circle of people to help & guide me for our future producing more of these incredible lifesaving dogs!

I found the top part on FB this morning and it couldn’t be more true to what we are trying to achieve here at ADK!

So do your research before taking the breeders word for what their dogs are capable of, and while you may pick a diamond out of the rough, knowing where the dogs come from, their lines & pedigree will set you up for the most success rather than heartache or disappointment.

🐾 want to work & please the handler
🐾 Wants a job to do
🐾Give anything a crack
🐾 ENS & ESI from 3 days old

I can’t take credit for how these guys were bred, but not only is it the breeding, it’s the training, raising and exposure that also make these guys the absolute best dogs 😍

Well bred dogs from amazing breeders have everything started for you from the day they come home to be successful, loving companions BUT it’s up to you to continue and build on that! A well bred dog is easily ruined in the wrong hands.

You cannot expect to pick up your puppy from your breeder and have a perfect puppy. You need to put in the time to learn about how to care for your new puppy, what training they need, what socialisation really is BEFORE you bring them home.

Also ensure to ask the breeder LOTS of questions before you commit to a pup.. not just because they are cute and you wanted a puppy!
Questions like
- are you registered with ANKC
- can you provide health clearances
- how long have you been breeding
- whats the history of the lines, where are they from
- how many litters has the mum had
- how many litters have they raised
- what are their past pups doing now (sporting, working, assistance, therapy, companion etc)
- do they do ENS & ESI
- what enrichment do they give their pups while growing
- what they are fed
- do both parents have FULL health & dna clearances (do your research on the breed beforehand as Alot of breeders can be very persuasive that their breeding stock is tested but if you ask about certain things they know you have done your research and you will know by their response if they have done it.
- go and see the pups before you commit
- dont just pick the prettiest or the one that cane to you.. if the breeder doesnt help you pick one suited (or completely pick one for your lifestyle) find another breeder. So many people are stuck on the idea that “my puppy picks me” and in some cases that may work out for you, but educated breeders will have a pup or 2 in mind that wouldd be best suited to your application details.

They unfortunately dont come already trained so put the effort in and you will get the best out of them 🙏

I could go on and on but do yourself a favour and when you go to get a pup, take your time, ask questions and pick the right breeder for you, and if you have to wait for a pup, TRUST ME it’s 100% worth it!
