How to find a breeder?
Edit By:How To Pet
Q:Ok, so we know what a good breeder and a bad breeder are, but how do we find good breeders? I mean, if they're not on the web, how do you locate them?
Specifically, I'm looking for a Dachs breeder in either Qc or Ontario, but I'm only coming up with horrible ones that have new litters every other week.
Is there a better way to go about this? Or does it really take months and months to find a good breeder?

A:You're getting a weenie dog?? Better tell Boo and Jemma to look out!
You can contact the CKC and ask for names, and you can go to the following site and contact dachshund breed clubs.

A:LOL no, it's not for me. A friend is getting one from a bad breeder next summer and I want to show him what a good breeder looks like. He already got one from this breeder for $350... It's hard to convince him it's a bad breeder because she's being really nice to him because he's still a customer (buying another dog). He thinks genetic testing is only for anal people who want to sell their dogs at $2000 each. So I want to find him a good breeder, to show him what the difference is.
A:Well, you might tell him that poorly bred doxies can have hereditary problems like skin conditions, heart disease, spinal disc problems, diabetes, urinary stones, eye disorders, alopecia, bone degeneration, and epilepsy.
All these problems will cost more than the price of a health-tested puppy.
There's also the rescue route. Many dumped doxies.
