Should i stay away from dog breeders who are not kennel club registered?
I’ve had many dogs (and other animals) during the course of my life. Some I have bought from reputable breeders both kc registered & not. Others have been given to me or I have paid a small amount for. You should decide this for yourself & be tough when you go to view the puppies. i.e. are the dogs kept in good surroundings, do they seem happy & well cared for, do their coats look clean & glossy and can both the parents be seen. Also ask the breeder if they can provide any names of previous clients who can show relations of the current litter & can speak for them. Good reputable breeders will keep in contact with past buyers. I can only speak for myself when I say the best dog I ever had was not from a KC registered site but this is not to say your experience would be the same. My elder sister has also quite recently had bud luck with dogs she bought from kc registered breeders & can do nothing about it as she is not prepared to hand her dogs back due to the bond she now has with them
