A friend of mine is very against show breeders. I have told her that they are not all "evil" like a few documentaries would leave you to believe.
she is dead set against getting a puppy from anyone who shows.
Also, she doesnt need a working line dog. She lives a pretty mellow life, and I dont see her doing agility, etc with her dog. So a drivey dog would not be right for her.
I would had suggest getting a dog from the shelter but she really says that she needs a dog that she can raise to be how she wants it to be. she has two children and has company (business company) over for dinner regularly. So she thinks she needs a puppy to raise up to be how she needs it to be.
I was wondering if maybe getting a puppy from a shelter was a good idea for her, but she likes breeds that are not found at animal shelters, and she really really wants a
Kerry Blue
Bedlington
or a Skye Terrier
any tips on how to find a good breeder that does not show OR work their dogs but isnt a BYB? and that do health test?
