Tips for Finding a Reputable Breeder in California
- Verify AKC registration and parent club membership before committing
- Ask for OFA or PennHIP health clearances for breed-specific conditions
- Visit the breeder in person — reputable breeders welcome home visits
- Expect a waiting list; "always available" puppies signal a puppy mill
- A good breeder will interview you — they care where their pups go
