Dog Breeders Supplies Q&A
Getting a dog from a reputable breeder?
Many times when someone asks Y!A about purchasing a puppy, we tell them to either go to a shelter or reputable breeder instead of the local BYB scum.
But how many of those people would actually pass a shelter or breeder's application process? How do you stop the vicious cycle when greedy BYBs/pet stores are supplying the demand of the less qualified pet owners?
I've never bought from a reputable breeder so I wouldn't know whether I would pass any application. My dog is a shelter dog.
All I know is that if I did buy from a reputable breeder is that I would do my research beforehand on the breed I was planning to buy so I was fully prepared for all questions asked. I would also make sure I was only buying a breed that was suitable for my lifestyle. If I did that, I am reasonably sure I would pass any application.
How do you stop the vicious cycle? Education. People just do not know what they are supporting when they do not buy reputably. People need to do a LOT more research before buying.
Unfortunately BYBs are not hard to find (reputable breeders are very few and far between) and when you do find them, they're so centered on money, that they are not going to turn ANYONE away who is offering to pay money for a pup, despite how unsuitable potential owners they may be. BYBs are the easy option and most people are too lazy or naive to look elsewhere. But easy is not always right.
I bet I could go out now (well maybe not now... it's 4am here... but you know what I mean) and find a back yard breeder within hours. If I offered what they were asking for I am as sure as hell they would hand over a puppy to me with no background checks, no questioning, no asking for references, nothing. It's just so easy.
