Boston Terriers - What I Should Know About Ethical Breeding

[sourland]

I do hope they reconsider breeding, but we can't force anyone to change their minds. Just give them the information and hope they do the best they can.

And I hope they get involved in breeding and become successful in improving the breed and developing a family of healthy dogs representative of their breed. That's the beauty of being allowed to have our strong opinions and yet respect those of others.

Here is what I look for in a breeder :

My ideal breeder is someone who is doing this because they love the breed.
They want to see each new generation born at least as good as the previous, ideally better.
They provide for every dog in their care as if that dog is their own.
They will be there for the new family, and stand behind that pup for it's lifetime, rain or shine, with or without a contract.
They will know the standards and pedigrees of their chosen breed, health and genetic diversity of their lines, and breed to better them.
They will know of the latest studies in health standards for their chosen breed and variety and do the health testing of their breeding dogs.
They prove their dogs meet breed standards and are physically capable by breeding from sires and dams proven in competition or participating in other activities.
They do not cross breed.
They will have as many questions for me as I do for them.
They invest in their dogs. They don't expect the dogs to support them.
