Responsible Breeding
reduces the need for
rescue groups
A responsible breeder:
Makes certain that German
Pinschers being bred represent the breed well in body and mind and have
proven these qualifications through competition in various dog sports.
Breeds German Pinschers
with a long term vision in mind. Puppies not meeting the breeder's goals
will be carefully placed in pet or performance homes with a spay/neuter
agreement.
Tests for hereditary
concerns that face German Pinschers.
Is knowledgeable of the
German Pinschers in the pedigrees behind the dogs they breed in order to
improve future generations and the breed as whole.
Does not just breed to
see what will be produce.
Understands the genetics
behind the sire and the dam.
Accepts the financial
risk associated with raising German Pinschers. A responsible breeder does
not breed for profit and rarely makes money off litters produced.
Accepts the emotional
risk which can include possible death of the puppies or the mother.
Accepts the long term
commitment of the German Pinschers Puppies. If for any reason at any time a
buyer is unable to keep the German Pinscher, the breeder will want it back
even if the dog is very old.
Will notify puppy buyers
if a previously unknown hereditary issue occurs and alter the breeding
program to prevent the issue from happening in the future.
Ascertain that all
puppies go to carefully screen homes. If no home is available, a
responsible breeder will properly raise the puppy until it has a family to
love it. No puppy will ever to go a pet store, animal shelter or puppy
mill. Responsible breeders do not add to the thousands of unwanted pets
that are in shelters around the United States.
Makes sure all puppies
are permanently identified before going to their new homes so that in the
event the German Pinscher ends up in a rescue situation, it can be returned
to its breeder.
