I know this is written by a poodle breeder but it is so relevant to all breeds. Please make sure you buy from respected breeders that does all of the health testing, hip and elbow evaluations and ALL the necessary eye tests.
-Getting a purebred dog is not the same as a well-bred dog. There are so many backyard breeders breeding purebred registered dogs with huge structural, temperment, and health problems.
-good structure on a dog is important. Poorly structured animals will have adverse health effects from them having to improperly carry their body overtime time compared to a well structured animal.
-A well bred dog will come from dogs who have been proven in the conformation ring or working lines, to have good body structure according to their breed standard, they have good correct temperaments, and are fully health tested to the breed recommended standards (in the US this is done my OFA to Chic requirements).
-By supporting a byb just because they are breeding purebred dogs for cheap, that is just adding to the overpopulation and unhealthy dog problem we have today.
-please shop or adopt responsibly and don’t support a byb or puppy mill
