Puppies For Sale - Dog Breeders - Pets & Animals - Pet Net
Are you thinking about adding a new puppy to your family? If the answer is "yes" then it's very important to make sure that you choose the right breed of dog for your family, and that you choose the right breeder.
Pet stores are NOT the place to purchase a quality puppy. No matter how cute that "puppy in the window" may be, chances are he or she comes with a lot of additional expense and heartache. Pet stores get their puppies from puppy brokers. Puppy brokers buy puppies from commercial dog breeders (better known as puppy mills).Puppy mill puppies often have congenital health problems (usually due to inbreeding), behavioral problems (due to lack of socialization), and are not correct examples of their breed (due to indiscriminate breeding). They come at a high price - both the price charged by the pet store, and the money and heartache that goes into caring for a sick puppy.
Commercial dog breeders would be better named "dog farmers" , many of whom keep hundreds of dogs (which they call "breeding stock") in small, cramped and usually filthy cages - and breed them at every cycle to produce as many puppies as possible for the least amount of money possible. These poor dogs get no love, and have no life. They are prisoners of greed!You can learn more about puppy mills, pet store puppies, back yard breeders, and how to select a responsible, caring hobby breeder here.
If you love dogs and care about the way they are treated in our society, don't "buy into" the "dog industry". When you buy a puppy from a pet store, you're putting money into the hands of puppy brokers and puppy mills, and giving them the incentive to keep doing what they do - exploiting and abusing Man's Best Friend.SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOBBY BREEDER!
The list of dog breeders below includes only breeders who claim to be responsible, caring dog lovers who selectively breed and raise healthy, happy dogs and puppies. Pet Net highly recommends that you take great care in selecting a dog breed for your family, and the breeder from which to purchase that adorable new puppy. By buying your puppy from a responsible hobby breeder, you have much better chance of acquiring a healthy, happy, conformationally correct, well-socialized puppy that will spend many years giving your family love, joy, laughter and companionship.
The breeders listed below have been pre-screened by email and telephone, but we have not physically inspected their homes. Please be sure to thoroughly investigate any breeder from whom you plan to purchase a puppy. Ask for and check references, visit them and meet their dogs and puppies (if possible), "Google" them to make sure there are no complaints online about them, and ask plenty of questions.
A responsible, caring breeder will welcome this with open arms!
