You may call UKC for a list of breeders and we will be happy to give them to you. It is still your responsibility to make certain that you are getting value for your money. Use the same caution you would in purchasing any item that you plan to keep for 10-20 years. It lists the number of offspring produced, and the number of degrees earned in each category for all 14 ancestors. Breeders find UKC pedigrees extremely helpful in researching their dogs.
Education is the key to responsible ownership.
UKC was the first dog registry to establish a puppy mill program. UKC supplies a Breeder's Record for better record keeping with each litter registration. The Breeder's Record is pre-printed with the sex and registration number of each pup. Breeders need only add to whom the pups are sold. UKC publishes a Breeder's Code of Ethics.
