...why you should look for.
.....so now lets see how the previous post applies to real life.
If you buy that cute puppy, just because it is so cute, you are 'paying that breeder for their service, care and whelping of that puppy. Does this breeder do the needed health testing? If not, you just rewarded them for possibly breeding further genetic problems that you now own.. Did you know beagles have Canine Disc Disease. If you buy from a breeder that does not monitor this, you could be putting your puppy through a lot of pain and perhaps a very short life. While breeders that do monitor for this disease, track, test and remove any carriers from their breeding stock. You and your puppy will have much less grief if you do not just buy because that puppy is cute, but because the Breeder did the disease monitoring and testing needed for that breed.
Lets say you buy that puppy because the conditions are horrible. (puppy mill) There is not much to say here, if you pay them, they will breed more. Just that simple. If they can sell the puppies, they will breed more puppies. DO NOT BUY from a puppy mill.
Know the breed you want, know the genetic issues and spend a small amount of time finding a breeder that has ethics, a breeder you are comfortable with.
