All breeders are not the same and how dare anyone imply that.
I passionately support preservation breeders and purposefully bred, purebred dogs.
A preservation breeder cares about the quality of their chosen breed. You know what type of temperament to expect with your puppy, and that your dogs appearance is being bred to their standard. They carefully chose stellar examples of the breed to pair them.
A BYB throws any two “purebreds” together - often the two dogs they own. They care nothing regarding the quality example of the breed. The BYB lacks passion and only see money to be made. Purebred does not equal WELL BRED. AKC papers or any papers are NOT a sign of quality - papers simply acknowledge it’s a purebred dog. It can be a crappy bred purebred dog - know the difference.
A preservation breeder cares who is getting their puppies, asks questions and possibly checks references. They take their puppies/dogs back if something happens and would be horrified if one of their puppies end up in a shelter.
A byb doesn’t care who gets their puppies - if you have the money, they have the puppy. They couldn’t care less what happens to the pup after money is in their pocket - they were paid.
A preservation breeder is passionate about their breed. They study the history, the standard and do their best to create beautiful examples of what their breed should be.
A BYB just throws two of the same breed dogs
together.
A preservation breeder health tests the mating pair of any known issues their breed might experience and often tests beyond the basic/minimal health testing requirements. This can include a deep look at their heart health, possible blood disorders (such as vWD), checking organs (such as kidney and thyroid), x-ray hips and elbows, having eyes examined- and many more breed specific tests. The tests run many hundreds of dollars.
A BYB might take their breeding pair for a quick once over by a vet. Maybe.
A preservation breeder titles their breeding dogs in sport to try to prove a solid and stable temperament and/or also title in conformation (Ch title) in a respectful venue to show the dog structure is bred to a high standard. It’s not easy to title and not cheap. It costs THOUSANDS of dollars to achieve titles .
A BYB usually has zero titles but claim “Ch lines” from a dog that is in pedigree. News Flash - vast majority of dogs will have a titled dog somewhere in their pedigree. They are not personally titling their dogs and could care less if dog has a solid temperament or has standard to breed looks. They are not spending a dime to prove anything. They have “purebreds” and they will sell you a puppy. Often the puppies looks and temperament are wrong for the breed - but they don’t care.
A preservation breeder works on the puppies early experiences - they introduce new surfaces, noise, environment, people including children , plus start crate training and housebreaking. They won’t let puppies leave until they are of the right age.
A BYB interacts with the puppies as little as possible and want out of their house ASAP - many let pups leave even when illegal or not recommended to do so . *8 weeks is the minimum age by law in most states!*
Please DO shop.
For what makes a good breeder or a good rescue. Research. Dig.
“Rescuing” that dog off Craigslist for $200 or “rescuing” that puppy for $500 - yeah congratulations you just most likely paid a BYB. 🙄 but you “rescued” so that was the moral high ground - btw that’s sarcasm in case that’s lost on anyone.
Please don’t give money to BYB who line the shelters, sell sick dogs or neurotic dogs and certainly could careless about their well being.
A step in stopping the extreme animal rights propaganda is by telling our story with regarding who a preservation breeder is and why you should support them along with rescue.
A preservation breeder is a warrior for dogs and the purebred kennel clubs are often the biggest supporter of their breeds rescue.
Don’t be fooled - by BYB breeders and the extreme rhetoric of Animal Right Propaganda who hardly have a dogs best interest in mind.
I 💗 PURPOSEFULLY PUREBRED DOGS, PROUDLY BRED BY PRESERVATIONISTS.
Feel free to copy and paste with pictures of your well bred, purebred and very loved dog.
