IMO, Any serious breeder will have a website and will NOT advertise in newspapers.
A serious breeder has a job for his dogs, no dog.......no dog in yard of a serious breeder is jobless they all play an important role.
A serious breeder has PROVEN champions, currently in his or her yard regardless what the sport is
A serious breeder has LOTS of haters
A serious breeder has planned breedings
A serious breeder do NOT breed to make a buck and could care less if you adopt his or her puppy
A serious breeder will NOT bash another breeder
A serious will be happy to answer any questions you may have
A serious breeder will NOT just sell his (or) her puppies to just anyone
Usually a serious breeder will breed if he (or) she needs a puppy and MAY have a few left to put up for adoption.
A serious breeder is active with their dogs.
and lastly a serious breeder will make sure YOU are worthy enough to adopt one of his puppies
You are on a forum run by a really good breeder
I was taught, breeders breed and hunter hunt...
As far as know your breeder. I think it's the way they talk, walk and the record of the animals they breed... JMHO

For the people like me it's following a format on the hounds i run then compteting and culling. I can say i could never breed good working hounds without checking, but i check and i only have made one breeding in my life and because its only my first doesnt mean That it wasnt a first class breeding. I think it's simple work the hounds by competing. Then take most proven cross or inbreed, regardless its knowing whats worked in past with the line u run.
It's a small % of cj's out here... They all say the same thing, what I said... I know there are exceptions... For the most part hunters, hunt... So I wouldn't buy a grown hunting dog, from a hunter unless he in a bind and the dog has caught a hog. I wouldn't buy a grown dog from a breeder, unless the dog has produced. I would get a pup from either lol
I think the most important thing is, have some common sense... Ask questions, listen to the answers.. Research the info, if it doesn't add up,well on to the next one.. You should do all research first. Then when you find the person your are looking for ask the questions, that while you were researching you didn't get the answers... This is jmho...
The first sign of a good breeder I look for is overall health of their dogs and cleanliness of their yard. Because no matter how good a person says their hounds are, I'm taking no dog from any yard that is dirty an has unhealthy dogs. Second, I try to identify the reasons why the breeder breeds his/her dogs. I like breeders that don't produce litters often, and who strive to produce quality in each breeding. And third, I look at the individuals being bred and finding out as much info on the performance of the animals chosen to be bred. If I can not find out these 3 things, then I have no interest in dogs from that breeder.
what is this, u starting of with "has a website" already. are you kidding??? the guy is asking for good advice
Good key points... I concur 8-)
if you noticed, I said "In my opinion" or "IMO" this is what came to my mind first. I gave very good advise, you disagree? That is fine, that is your right. But what sense does it make to have a yard and potential familes can't see the dogs? Anyone can say "I have this and I have that" but when it is all said and done before I even consider calling, to even talk about the adopting a puppy from a yard I want to see what the animals look like, and IF I like what I see then I call, if I like what they say, then I go visit the yard. But usually a great yard is always far away so do you not need a visual of the parents and puppies before you buy? Usually a Serious breeder have a website and this is one way I seperate BACKYARD BREEDERS from serious Dogmen.........Peace!what is this, u starting of with "has a website" already. are you kidding??? the guy is asking for good advice
