I am getting a labrador puppy from a breeder in 4.5 weeks. Instead of emailing everyone individually every week, she uploads pictures to her website every week so we can keep informed with their progress. The breeder emailed me when the puppies were born and informed me that there was one...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, so I'm not really sure if I put this post in the right section. Anyways, my family and I had to put our dog, Patches, to sleep on his 11th birthday this past March. We've been thinking about getting another dog. We fostered an unknown mix from a rescue...

Hello, I am looking to find a Bernese Mountain Dog mix puppy. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion which mixes are better. I am also looking to find a breeder that I could get them from. I would like a puppy that is affectionate, moderate energy, loyal, intelligent and outgoing. The...

Hello! I recently got swindled on a deposit by a breeder that is 85% a puppy mill so now I'm super cautious. I've reached out to another breeder now and I am trying to figure out what the situation is like. I would love tips. Here is what I've found out: - the breeder didn't ask me to fill...

My fiance and I are hoping to bring a puppy into our lives sometimes in the summer of this year. We want to be really responsible with it. We have had quite a few rescue dogs whom we've loved in our lives but we really want to try training a puppy from the start. So we've set out finding...

Hi guys, I'm writing this to share the story of Dexter, my now 3 month golden retriever mix, and also about my experience with a reprehensible, unethical breeder. note (before reading): I live in Indonesia, and people here have very different attitudes regarding dogs than in the states. So if...

Not sure if this is on the right category or not, I'm new here, hi! So I'm currently looking for breeders for one of my favorite breeds out there: the Alaskan malamute. If y'all havnt noticed, the breed isn't all that common. So it's quite hard to find one, nevermind find a good breeder that...

Hello every one, My name is chriss and a dog breeder lives in california. My hobbies and passions start on dogs and ends on dogs. I basically run a blog called dogsease.com where i write about different dogs breeds their qualities. After checking the posts of these forum i thought it would...

I've been searching for either an adult Springer or adult Lab from our local rescues for months now and I haven't come across a pup that would be a good fit yet. I've always had a dog and I'm starting to get impatient to wrap my arms around my new best friend, so I recently found myself googling...

Greetings all, This is my first post, and I hope someone here can answer my question. I'm looking for a specific purebred puppy. I don't want to say the breed because it is a pretty rare breed and I don't want to risk the breeder reading this. Anyway, two of the puppies are 16 weeks old, and...

Hi, So I've been on a breeders waiting list for the past 3 or 4 months, I message him every 3 weeks or so just to touch base, ask some more questions about the breed and so on and so fourth. (We have met and spoken over the phone as well) He messaged me the other day stating that they finally...

Hi everyone, I've been researching for over a year on and off to decide which dog would best suit my family's life and we've decided on either a Havanese or a Coton de Tulear. We're in love with both breeds therefore our main decider now is which breeder is closer to our home as we know that...

Sorry this is so long :eek: So me and my partner are *considering* adding a third pup to our family, but probably not until next summer at the earliest. It’s okay to start thinking / possibly planning early right?! :D Background: We have two dogs, both rescues. Kasper is a 5 year old BC x ESS...

I've had my puppy for a week now, and ever since we got her she's had digestive problems. She's been to the vet twice and hasn't even had her jabs yet, she's had to go on prescription food, probiotics, ear drops for ear mites and I've had to take loads of stool samples to be sent off to the lab...

Hello, something has been on my mind lately and have been looking all over the internet for answers. Came to realize that the best way for me to get answers is from actual people with experience. I found this forum and saw that it was fairly active, I signed up immediately. I have a friend who...

How do you find a "reputable breeder"? I find lots of ads and cute puppy pictures, yet I don't have any solid information. I am looking for a designer dog. Medium-to-small size, non-shedding, healthy, confident pup. First generation. Ideally, I would like to find some breeder in S. California...

We purchased 2 beautiful English Goldens from two different breeders last year. Bonnie & Clyde. Both breeders told us (in writing) that once we had the pups fixed, AKC registration would be sent to us. Bonnie's breeder is top notch - no complaints. However, Clyde's breeder - I am having a...

Hi, I am in the market for a puppy and I am apparently wanting something that is hard to find. I would really like to get either a working-bred bearded collie (NOT a conformation show line) -OR- a bearded collie border collie cross. If it were a cross I would prefer the border collie to be...
