I have copied this post from another breeder - copied because I couldn't have said it as well myself. Natalie's views and goals mirror my own on the subject of breeding and homing puppies.
"When reaching out to a breeder, please remember — this is not a marketplace transaction.
Responsible breeders do not produce “items for sale.” We raise living beings we are deeply attached to. Every puppy is planned, cared for, and known to us as an individual long before they ever meet their future family.
We absolutely understand that buyers want to ask questions and be cautious — that is reasonable. But there is a difference between thoughtful questions and approaching a breeder as if you are negotiating over a commodity or demanding answers on your terms.
Most breeders also have a process in place for selecting homes. It may include application forms, interviews, video calls, or waiting lists. This process exists for a reason — to protect the puppies and, honestly, to protect the breeder’s time and emotional investment as well.
Trying to push, rush, or reshape that process rarely leads anywhere.
And one more thing — placing a puppy is not “sell and forget.”
We don’t do one-off transactions. We are looking for the right people — those who share our values and treat their dogs with the same love and respect that we do. The kind of families we are happy to stay in touch with for years to come. In many cases, our puppy owners become part of our extended kennel family.
Respectful communication matters.
Because while you are deciding if a puppy is right for you, we are deciding if you are the right home for that puppy. And that decision is something we take very seriously. Yours,
