... The ’Directory of Breeders’ in the Dogs Annual groups breeds according to loose categories of original purpose. ... Reputable breeders will tell you all about their dogs and their lines, not just the good things, because they will want you to be happy with your new pup, and it with you. ... Do be aware that, while good breeders do their best for the future of the dogs they love, and will probably offer a guarantee of some sort, no one can promise that a puppy will never develop any problems during its life. ... If the parents are healthy and friendly dogs, and the pups have been socialized with the breeder’s family from birth onward, your new pal should bond with you easily and be a pleasure to live with for years to come.
