Without them, we would not have the breeds we love so dearly. It sounds like you know how to check out the breeder you use. I love my breeders and trust that they know exactly what they are doing to perpetuate the Boxer breed. That is the only dog they breed and I emphasize that they do not sell over the internet, nor do they even post pictures of puppies on their website. I am required to check in with them on a regular basis so that they can keep track of any health issues that might arise. They also like to keep up with what their pups are doing as they grow up to make sure they have good homes.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02033581823307255074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130378196532983189.post-88505545088572489492013-02-25T08:21:49.823-06:002013-02-25T08:21:49.823-06:00At the moment all five of our dogs are rescues.

However, if I cannot meet the parents, see health records of the line, and see the environment where the dogs are kept, it would be no deal. And I would only go to a breeder that only bred one breed of dog. We did that with our first Sheltie and had a wonderful dog for many years.
