What is the best, most reliable site to find local dog breeders?

http://www.breeders.net/

Oh gees.... here we go.

If this dog was really "ready to breed" then you wouldn't need to be asking these questions on here.

It sounds like you and your mother-in-law are so way off of understanding what is required when breeding dogs then you should just totally forget it and get her spayed.

Anybody with a dog ready to breed will have all health certification necessary - and that is hip and elbow scores etc. and not just a quick trip to the vets. That would of only been done if the b*tch were suitable for breeding because she is an excellent example of her breed.

Your MIL would be looking around for the most suitable stud dog based on many features that she needs to enhance or diminish and would of been looking at suitable show dogs for the last year or so to know what she is looking for.

Just get her spayed before you end up with puppies with health problems to pass on to unsuspecting owners.

I'm sorry but she does not have a dog to breed. She has a pet quality dog that SHOULD NOT breed. & no reputable breeder would breed to her dog. He dog is JUST pet quality & not worthy of breeding.

No reputable breeder will advertise on the net. Or in your local newspapers. Some times they have waiting lists for their pups that are two or three litters a head. People just waiting for that one special dog they are willing to pay the price for.

Her dog is not one of these dogs. It is only pet quality & should be spayed ASAP. Do not pollute the already growing pet population with more poorly bred dogs.

When the dog is "ready to breed" is the wrong time to be looking for a stud dog. This should be done well in advance.

If you need to ask this question here it is a sign that you don't know anywhere near enough to be breeding.

Please go do some serious research on responsible breeding.

YOu need to contact your local breed club. Go to the AKC website and look up the breed. Then look for breeders.

If your MIL's dog isn't carrying a title, it is doubtful that anyone will want to breed with him.

Oh for crying out loud.....please do not breed your dog. You obviously have no clue what you are doing nor does your mother in law. Take a look a your local shelters and see how many dogs do not have homes because of people like you! Please be smart and get that dog spayed/neutered.

since of course your mother is a member of her breed club, has shown her dog in the ring, done well, had the proper health clearances done and of course KNOWS what she's doing then she should know damn well where to find another EXCELLENT example of her dog's breed.

That's of course assuming the dog is purebred and registered.

If she doesn't then neither she nor the dog are ready to breed and more than likely never will be.

Puppyfind.com Then when your on there search the breed and then at the top it will say by state but your state in and then it will bring up breeders there and then ask them if they stud out there male.

I found my very healthy, very lovable Chow Chow on Petfinder.com. I haven't had any problems yet and her breeder still emails me.

What state do you live in and what breed is she.
