WHAT IS A REPUTABLE BREEDER?
 
A reputable breeder is some one that cares where there puppies go.
A reputable breeder does not sell any of their dogs through a pet store.
A reputable breeder has a contract.
A reputable breeder does not breed for colour.  ( this does not make a
healthy dog)
A reputable breeder breeds for structure and temperament. ( structure
ensures the dog will be health when they are 14 years old. Temperament
ensures that they make it to 14.)
A reputable breeder is always there for the life of the dog.
A reputable breeder does not breed an girl more then 3 times.
A reputable breeder feeds quality food.
A reputable breeder has a good working relationship with their vet.
The list goes on and on......but I think you get the idea.
There are many good reputable breeders you just have to interview
them and you will see for yourself.
By the way phone calls are better as you get a feel for the person.  Emails
we can plan what we say.  People are not as honest.
The least important question should be price.
