Finding a Puppy

Once you have decided on the breed to suit your family and lifestyle, the next step is to find a litter of puppies. With Internet access, this is not difficult, but how do you know you are contacting a reputable breeder who produces sound, healthy puppies that are typical of the breed? T he best plan is to go to a recommended source. The easiest way to do this is to contact the American Kennel Club—the governing body of pedigree dog registrations and activities in the United States—and get contact details for Breed Clubs in your area. The Breed Club secretary can give you details of local breeders and may know who has puppies available.
