Passion Breeding
Breeding must be a passion.
Passion, devotion and renunciation
Nothing falls into your lap, breeding is hard work and a neverending investment.
Breeding must be a passion, because a breeder is there for his charges 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are no holidays, no days off, no vacation! Of course you could go on vacation, but you have to make sure you have suitable accommodation or a trustworthy dog sitter who will look after the animals.
We take responsibility and have to take care of our dog family, responding to their physical and emotional needs, even if we ourselves are ill.
Day and night!
You can't build up a pedigree dog breeding business overnight; it takes years and endless expenses.
Costs of a breeding facility
Characteristics of a responsible breeding facility
Evaluation of his dogs
Every good breeder will present his breeding dogs at exhibitions and have them judged so that he can assess his breeding status. The breeder will also be happy to present his successes to you.
High-quality breeding association
Carrying out litter inspections and breeding controls on site ensures constant monitoring of the breeding facility. In addition, only animals that have received a very good exhibition rating and have been approved in the subsequent breeding approval test may be used for breeding.
Open breeding facility
"Show me how your dogs live and I'll know who you are." Every good breeder will gladly allow you to visit their breeding dogs in their habitat and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Proof of breeding and health papers
If dogs come from associations that are affiliated with the VDH, they have a pedigree that is recognized worldwide. Each of these breeders must be able to present these papers and certain health certificates for their animals.
Mother dog on site
To rule out that the puppies come from so-called cruel breeding, you should make sure that the mother is present. If there is no mother living in the breeder's house, this could be an indication of an unscrupulous dealer. Never accept puppies at the border.
Breeder's interest
A responsible breeder is interested in whether his protégé is going into good hands. He will ask what kind of family and home environment the puppy will grow up in and whether you have considered the needs of the breed.
