Why Ethical Breeding Matters—for Puppies, Parents, and You
🐶 What Is Responsible Breeding?
Responsible breeding means putting health, temperament, and ethics first. It’s not just about making puppies—it’s about improving the breed and protecting the dogs involved. Ethical breeders:
- Select breeding pairs with care
- Perform full health testing (like OFA certifications and BAER hearing tests)
- Raise puppies in safe, loving environments
- Offer lifelong support to families
- Never sell on Kijiji or through puppy brokers

✨ Ethical Considerations in Dog Breeding
Ethical breeders put the dogs first—always. That means:

- A clear puppy placement process

These breeders are part of programs like the Paw Privileges Responsible Breeding Program, where health testing, ethics, and owner support are mandatory, not optional.
