Today we shall be looking at the Four Kinds Of Breeders.



This post will help every so-called breeder to know their class and also help those who want to buy dogs to know the group/person to buy from.

these days every one one is a breeder. forgetting that; Being a breeder entails more than having/owning a couple of dogs in your house. It requires much more. Dog Breeders differ from each other: The Big question is; How do you know which breeder is best?
To that effect, we shall be looking at the Four types of breeders.
First, who is a breeder? Although, there are various definitions.
But i'll be classifying those definitions into 2 main groups.

Accurate and In-accurate(this is where many breeders come in)


1. Accurate: A breeder is a person who selectively breeds carefully
selected mates , normally of the same breed to sexually reproduce
offspring with specific, consistently replicable qualities and characteristics.


2. In-accurate: Breeders are individuals or organizations that mates, whelps, raises, then sells puppies.(this what most breeders practice). Note: Breeding goes beyond this!!


TYPES OF BREEDERS.
(1) Commercial Dog Breeding.
(2) Backyard Breeder.
(3) Hobby Breeder, Show Breeder.
(4) Professional non-show breeder.



1. Commercial Dog Breeders: All puppies that are sold in pet stores
now-a-days are born and raised in commercial operations.
Commercial operations house many dogs and sell a variety of
different breeds usually to a middleman or broker who delivers the
puppy to the store. Here, Dogs are kept in cages and may spend their entire lives in these cages. The female dogs are bred continually throughout their lives producing litter after litter to be sold to pet stores or major junctions of very busy residential areas. Also, These dogs generally do not receive adequate health care or grooming and most receive little human interaction. Housing is poor and usually not clean.




2. Backyard Dog Breeders: A second type of breeder is what is
generally called a “backyard breeder.” This breeder may or may
not raise puppies in his backyard, but the name implies that it is an
individual who has a female dog and knows someone with a male
dog, so they decide to let them mate. There are many reasons why
this occurs.


· They want their children to experience the wonder of birth

· They have a beloved dog and want another one just like him or her

· They think they can make extra money on the side

· They have friends or family member who want a puppy.


Most experts would agree that the reasons listed above are not
adequate reasons for bring new puppies into this world. Since this
type of breeder mates their pet dogs, they are like to care about
the sire or dame and get adequate veterinary care for them.
This, however, is not always the case. They are likely to have
adequate housing and food. Again, high quality food is expensive
and their dogs may not have access to the best nutrition. Since they may only own one or two dogs, the dogs will likely get
plenty of attention and be treated as the pets they are. They are
also likely to care about the puppies and give them attention. This
separates these individuals from Commercial breeders. The major problem with backyard breeders lies in their possible lack of knowledge of breed standards, common health risks of the breed, inadequate knowledge of canine obstetrics and care of the newborns. They usually sell their pups locally without health guarantees or even vaccinations.




3. Hobby Dog Breeders: The line is thin between the third and
fourth type of breeders, hobby and professional. Both have
knowledge of the breed, health risks, and canine obstetrics. They
both keep up-to-date on new research and knowledge and are
continuing to learn more and more about their chosen breeds.
Many hobbyists test their breeding stock prior to breeding and choose dogs for breeding based on temperament, conformity and health. By its very name, a hobby breeder is one who breeds occasionally, once or twice a year.




4. Professional Dog Breeders: Professional breeders are similar to
hobby breeders in all the ways listed above except look at themselves as a legitimate business and run the operation as a business which includes record keeping, accounting etc... So, briefly we have covered the pros and cons of different types of dog breeders. If you have your heart set on a cuddly little pup from a breeder, these four types of breeders are likely to have what you want. The choice is yours, but it’s fair to say that even within the four categories, breeders are not alike. Purchasing a puppy is a big
undertaking not to mention a substantial financial investment.
Do your homework and only purchase from a breeder that you feel
comfortable with. The best way to purchase a dog is to meet the
breeder in person, view her operation, and see the puppy’s parents. If this isn’t possible, a long phone conversation and lots of emails is a necessity. You should have a list of questions to ask any breeder you are planning to purchase a puppy from.
