Dog Breeders

Dog Breeders covers the dog breeding kennels across Romania, from those with one or two breeds they know in depth to those affiliated with breed clubs. A responsible dog breeder plans each mating on health and temperament criteria, does the tests recommended for their breed, hip and elbow dysplasia, eye disease, breed-specific genetic tests, raises the puppies in the home with early stimulation and socialisation, and releases the puppy at a suitable age, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

You choose a dog breeder when you want predictability: a breed whose size, energy, barking, exercise and grooming needs suit your home, family and time. The better you inform yourself about the breed beforehand, the more useful the conversation with the breeder is, and the lower the risk of taking on an unsuitable dog.

When you assess a breeder, ask to visit the kennel, see the mother with the puppies and, if possible, other dogs from their line. Ask what health tests are documented for the parents, how many litters they have per year, what guarantees they offer for hereditary disease, what food and routine they recommend for the puppy, and what the contract provides, including the return clause. A serious breeder stays available for advice for years.

Avoid breeders who always have many breeds in stock, will not let you see the mother, sell puppies very early, or deliver "to your door" with no checks. Be patient for a puppy from a planned litter.

Ask to see the hip, elbow and eye test certificates for both parents, not just verbal claims, and check whether the pedigree is issued by a recognised club. A well-raised puppy has clean paws, a well-kept coat, is curious and approaches people without fear.

Use this directory to find dog breeders in your area, compare the information and reviews, and open each one's page for contact details and reviews before getting in touch, and be patient for a puppy from a planned litter rather than one available today.
