Dog breeders are individuals or businesses that specialize in producing specific breeds of dogs. They carefully select parent dogs based on desirable traits such as temperament, health, and appearance to ensure that the puppies inherit these qualities. Responsible breeders prioritize the well-being of their dogs and often conduct health screenings to minimize genetic issues. In addition to breeding, dog breeders are also involved in the socialization and care of the puppies. They provide a nurturing environment, ensuring that the puppies are well-adjusted and ready for their new homes. Many breeders also offer guidance to new dog owners about training and care for their dogs.
