It’s exciting when you’ve finally decided on the ideal bird dog breed for your lifestyle and family. But be patient, waiting months or even years for the right breeder can save you heartache down the road. Take the time to educate yourself about the importance of health testing, socialization, structure, and field ability. Know that reputable breeders typically have a lengthy waitlist, they have the ability to choose the best homes, not which ones submit the deposit first, they most likely have requirements your dog must meet before it’s allowed to be bred from.. respect that, and seek those breeders that not only produce purebred dogs, but well bred dogs.
