I'm buying a Lab puppy and have found, what I think, a good breeder. I am, however, concerned about the breeder. Please give me your advice whether you feel this breeder is good or not, based on what I know about her.
a. She has 8 female and 3 male dogs of which she breeds from.
b. She sells APR registered puppies.
c. She tests her breeding stock for hip dysplasia but not elbow dysplasia or PRA.
d. She keeps the dogs in her home but her home is very messy and dirty (eg. dusty, un-clean, messy etc.).
e. She has 3-4 LABRADOR litters per year.
f. She not only breeds Labs, she breeds English Bulldogs and Bloodhounds.
g. None of the pups she sell come with neutering contracts.
h. She offers a 1 year health guarantee, 3 day welcome-home health guarantee and a 2 year return guarantee.
i. She uses electric shock collars on all of her dogs unless over the age of 10.
j. The sire of my Lab pup is 5 years old and the dam is 10 years old.
Hard decision for me. Your comments/opinion?
