Breeding in kennels vs in your home?

Kennel environment

Easier to keep sanitary as it will be built for such a purpose. Also all together dog safe.

Pups will begin to use a dog door at a young age to potty outside. Thus keeping bedding clean and incorporating a natural housebreaking process

Less inclined to come into contact with parasitic based infections because they are kept on an easy to disinfect run that does not have access to wildlife etc.

I would like to add that MANY great breeders raise puppies in kennel situations. As far as socialization, pups who are sold at 8-10 wks old do just fine! If puppies are not in demand one should not be breeding. Also a good breeder will have pups socialized despite where they are raised.

Home raised

Pups are allowed to potty inside via incorporating paper training or litterbox training. Both proven to lengthen housebreaking time for new owners.

If taken outside to potty on the lawn they come in contact with far more bacteria, viruses and parasites that once in the ground can NEVER be disinfected.

They come into contact with more people in your home (random company etc) ...which raises the likelihood they can contract diseases such as parvo etc.

I have raised pups both ways and purchased pups raised in both types of situations. I would prefer to buy a pup that was kennel raised from a GREAT breeder. They simply have less exposure to things such as coccidia, giardia, parasites, and the list goes on. You CANNOT disinfect your home well enough for the purpose of raising pups nor can you your yard. With my setup I do have an outdoor, climate controlled kennel building. I, however, prefer to have close watch over a new litter. For that reason my spare bathroom is entirely tiled with a floor drain and doggy door that leads to an outdoor cement run, complete with whelping box, for raising puppies. In my home? Yes. Still yet it is a kennel. The door can be open to our home or if I have company etc it is closed off.

Hi there. Personally, I could prevent a kennels in any respect fees. Although there are a few well kennels in the market, MANY are a long way much less then pleasant. Most kennels condominium the puppy within the pens 24/7, most effective taking them out for one or 2 brief walks an afternoon. Not well sufficient individually chiefly for puppy that's used to residing in a condominium. Although a few puppies adapt speedily, such a lot don't and uncover being kenneled a depressing enjoy. I suppose in case your Buddy has on no account been round different puppies (the consistent barking will also be VERY worrying for a puppy who has on no account been round different puppies) and he has on no account been kenneled it could be disturbing for him. So absolutely, that leaves the puppy sitter. I could rent a puppy sitter to return and reside on your condominium with Buddy for the four days you'll be away. Make definite you employ a puppy sitter with enjoy and references. I could no longer fear approximately the truth that he will also be apprehensive with persons. If your puppy sitter is skilled, he/she's going to coax Buddy round, I assurance it. Buddy will probably be a lot more cozy staying in his possess residence and you'll have a peace of brain. Best of good fortune!

You have to clean up poop.

It just so happens that I AM looking to buy a puppy (or adopt!). I AM looking for the following:

PROOF (also known as an OFA health record) that both parents have been tested for genetic conditions known to the breed and passed well. Why? I don't want to spend $1500 on a puppy that has crappy health and will continue to cost me excessive money for prescription drugs due to a genetic condition.

PROOF that BOTH parents and several ancestors have showed to champion status to prove that the pups will be close to the standard of the breed. Why? Proof that a breeder has worked to maintain the breed usually goes hand in hand with working to eradicate genetic conditions.

A contract that protects both me and the breeder that states all pet-quality pups have limited registration and are t be spayed/neuters. Should also state that the breeder is willing to take the pup or DOG back at any time during its life should I not be able to keep it. Why? A good breeder wants to be 100% certain that all of their pups have a home forever and on the off chance I can't keep my dog, I don't want the shelter to be an option. A good breeder also wants to make sure that they aren't selling one dog that will result in a dozen future shelter victims.

Puppies that have been fully vet checked, wormed, micro-chipped and had their first round of vaccinations. Pups that are kept until at least 8 weeks for large breeds and 12 weeks for small breeds. Why? Because it's the responsible thing to do to ensure health and any breeder who doesn't has no business BEING a breeder.

A breeder that uses high quality food or feeds a raw diet. Why? Because if the breeder feeds his/her dogs a quality diet then I know the pups have gotten proper nutrition both in the womb, while nursing and while weaning.

A breeder who only breeds when they want a new puppy or when they have a waiting list of potential buyers big enough to guarantee homes to all pups. Why? I don't want to buy from a b*tch who has had several litters in the past couple of years because she will not be healthy enough to produce healthy, quality litters time and time again like that.

A breeder who has a two year MINIMUM health guarantee for genetic conditions. A lifetime guarantee would be better. Why? Genetic tests cannot be done with reliable results until a dog is about 2 years old. A lifetime guarantee vs. a two year would be the deciding factor in who I bought my dog from.

A breeder who socializes the pups with people and the breeder's other pets. Why? You can never start socialization too soon. It's important in the development of a dog's personality.

A breeder who does NOT socialize with any dogs they do not own or outside of their home. Why? It introduces new germs into the environment and the pups will not be fully vaccinated.

A breeder who makes ME go through a screening process/questionnaire to make sure I'm he kind of person that can handle the breed/they want their pups to live with. Why? If a breeder doesn't want to take the time to make sure the pups are going to a good home, then I don't want to deal with the breeder because they're irresponsible. A good breeder would rather get stuck with an entire litter for the length of the dogs' lives then give their pups to bad owners.

A breeder that willingly answers ALL of my questions and even goes above and beyond to give me additional info on the topic of my question. Why? A good breeder has enough knowledge to do this and if they aren't hiding something from me, then they can go all out with their answers!

The breed has nothing to do with whether I would want a kennel bred vs. home bred. Home bred. ALWAYS home bred. NO breed of dog can EVER benefit from being born, raised and secluded from socialization outside away from the family.

EDIT::: I knew what type of kennel you meant, doesn't make a lick of difference to me. It's STILL outside and not in a home, family environment.

I would never buy a puppy that had been brought up in a kennel and not been inside.

No comparison.
