How to find a good dog breeder

Q: We have been looking for a boxer and are confused by what we read on the Internet and in classified ads. Prices are all over the block. Our last one died of a and had some issues, so we certainly wouldn't return to that . It's a breed that works well with our family but nowadays it's hard to tell good breeders from bad. We don't want a show dog, and have found show breeders to be a little off-putting to “pet people.” Any advice?

—Shawn, Palmyra

A: Even top breeders can't guarantee a problem-free dog for life. However, these folks selectively breed to lower the chances of inherited diseases and other issues. Show and performance represent the finest in their breeds in structure, health and or they wouldn't be competitive in the ring.

These hobby breeders can be difficult to , mainly because of the anti-breeding mentality that unfairly places them in the same category as irresponsible breeders and puppy millers. Very few advertise and most only produce litters once or twice a year.

Sometimes personalities clash or you'll run into a show who is defensive, condescending or doesn't return phone calls. The sport attracts some quirky types, so keep searching until things click.

It's worth the wait.

The Internet is a blessing and a curse when it comes to searching for a furry family member. Puppy millers are quite savvy when it comes to selling their “products” online. They know how to tug at heart strings with adorable puppy pictures, wallet-friendly pricing and little (if any) pedigree information.

    Incorrect. By saying that you can never get to the end of something, be it minecraft or any subject, makes it an infinite surface. But in a way you are also correct, because the human mind can’t comprehend the concept of an infinite plain

    Saying you can never get to the end of something does not make it infinite.
    If you have something holding in your walk key 24/7 for the rest of your life, you won’t even come close to getting to the edge.
