![]() The breeder of record may not be hands on with every pup or poodle on the place but they should make sure that all the quality of life and attention are paid to all their dogs. This doesn't mean that larger scale breeders can't do things right. * Many people prefer small scale breeders because they feel the puppies will have better socialization and it's very unlikely to be a puppy mill-like operation. !

The DNA/genetic panels that are being seen more frequently now are very helpful but they're only a part of the testing. When I find one corner cut, I wonder how many more have been. That is a breeder who is cutting corners unless they're also doing the other testing. Pawprint's DNA panels are nice and helpful but are not a replacement for the testing recommended by the official breed club, the Poodle Club of Canada. ![]()
