Why choose a Preservation Breeder?
For the Breed:
• Preserving the Breed’s Heritage
Preservation Breeders are dedicated to maintaining the original purpose and characteristics of the breed, ensuring its continued existence.
• Protecting Genetic Diversity
By focusing on health and breed standards, preservation breeders help to maintain the genetic diversity of the breed, preventing the loss of valuable traits.
• Combating Negative Trends
Preservation Breeders are focused on the health and well-being of their breed, which is in stark contrast to puppy mills, commercial breeders and backyard breeders who prioritize profit at the expense of the dog’s health, temperament, and genetic quality.
• Educating the Public
Preservation Breeders often educate the public about responsible breeding practices and the importance of preserving purebred dogs.
For the Dog Owner:
Preservation Breeders focus on producing dogs that meet the breed standard, resulting in more predictable size, coat type and temperament.
• Health Testing and Genetic Integrity
Preservation Breeders prioritize health testing and carefully select breeding pairs to minimize the risk of genetic health issues
• Support and Guidance
Preservation Breeders provide ongoing support and mentorship to new owners, helping them navigate dog ownership and breed-specific needs.
• Commitment to the Breed
Preservation Breeders are dedicated to the breed’s well-being, often working with parent clubs and other breeders to promote and protect the breed.
• Lifelong Commitment
Many preservation breeders offer a lifetime guarantee, meaning that they will take back the dog for any reason if the owner can no longer care for it.
