The Hunt for an ethical breeder

 ⚠️Research thoroughly into red flags of unethical breeders. Sometimes when we think of puppy farms we think of those horrible pictures shown on TV programmes or in the newspapers...but that's never what you will see when searching online or going to view puppies. Well...sometimes it is...but these big player breeders have a lot of excess money to put back into thier business...


Did you know you can pay to remove content from the internet that's bad for your business? 


These people will go to any lengths to hide any kind of truth from behind the scenes...something I personally look out for is...if they always have puppies available... sometimes this is difficult to figure out because of potentially thousands of people on thier waiting list...but this is not a good thing. 


They are charging more for 'rare' or desirable colours ... or they send the mum to a nice 'retirement home' after puppies are sold... these are some minor things that are small warning signs.

Obviously there are a lot more obvious ones...I'm sure a lot of people are already aware of... like trying to scare monger you into buying a puppy..."oh I have other people waiting to come see them, you'd have to put a deposit over a phone" That is not normal... even in a pandemic. The rest you have to use your gut instinct with. 


If you have any tiny bit of doubt... don't convince yourself or be convinced by others you are wrong. Trust me, it will haunt you. Walk away and save yourself some heart ache in the long run. 


Try and imagine what you as a kind hearted and selfless dog lover would be like if you decided to have a litter of puppies, a lot of you would have thought about this at some point...who wouldn't love the idea of bundles of joy running round the house...now...how would you go about it? I know what I would be like. How I would treat the mum of the puppies. That's what I would look for in a breeder. 


I waited 5 very long years from my puppy farm breeder experience to feel confident again. And I am as surprised as everyone else that I found the right puppy for me in the middle of a pandemic. It can happen. It has happened. But a lot of people haven't been that lucky.

The reality

I feel like this important to share with people. Having a breeder who is council licenced does not mean shit.  Nor does having KC registered parents.  It all depends what your opinion on what makes a good breeder is.  My idea, is that all dogs owned should be  family pets and be living comfortably in the main home, no female dog mum's should be sold or 'sent to a retirement home' after being bred from. This to me shows a business ethic...not a love for animals. I don't agree with having a high turnover of puppies with as little maitainance of the pups parents as possible.  I have know many bad breeders and breeders linked to puppy farms that are council registered and have KC parents.  The fact is...KC registered is the pedigree bloodline of the parents...it's heritage...and just because a dog is KC registered by no means makes them healthier. And it also means that the breeder has applied and paid for the dogs to be registered because they are a pure breed...

My Story.

  In 2015 I started my search for a puppy, I had reached the right time in my life and I was incredibly excited...actually that’s a major understatement. At the time... a show type cocker spaniel was what breed I had my heart set on. I had known a few friends over the years who had them as family pets, I had looked into their requirements as a breed and my mind was set. I went online and searched spaniel puppies for sale, the first results were the website Pets4Homes. I had an idea of what I would want from a puppy and a breeder. I knew I wanted to see both parents if possible, but definitely mum. I knew what colour coat I preferred and that I wanted a little boy. And I knew I wanted both mum and dad to be KC registered. I went through all the adds and I picked out the ones who matched ...and messaged them. The first person who messaged me back was a lady called Lisa. S. She told me that I was welcome to come view the puppies with mum and they owned dad too. She asked me a few ques...
