The decision to breed should never be taken lightly. There are many dogs in this world. It is very important for a breeder to have a goal in mind when deciding to produce a litter. A good breeder is always trying to improve on his or her current generation and produce pups that are better than their parents. The following responses indicate you are not dealing with a good breeder:
“We thought it would be a great experience to raise a litter”
“We love our dog and just wanted one of his/her babies”
“We did not plan on the litter, our intact male got to our young female by mistake”
“Our friend/neighbor knows a lot about dogs, he/she owns the father/mother of the litter”
