Having the pup's best interests at heart to say nothing of theirs and yours, a reputable breeder will take great pains to place his pups properly the first time around. A returned pup is a traumatic experience for all concerned and therefore, the breeder who is always willing to accept a puppy back will want to make certain that this specific purebred dog is the breed for you. Perhaps be a bit hesitant to sell you a pup until they know more about you. Will not pressure you into deciding immediately, and encourage you to see other litters before making your final selection. Require spaying or neutering of pet quality puppies.
Breeders spend a lot of time and effort planning breeding programs designed to improve the breed.
They selectively carry on their programs with only the best quality available. Pet quality puppies should be loved and enjoyed as pets. If your breeder meets all the above criteria, you are in good hands. If you find yourself with a negative response to any of these, think twice, discuss the situation with someone else. Whether or not you get it is up to you.
