If you are considering the adoption of a puppy of any breed, it is very important to be selective in choosing a responsible and reputable breeder. Canada's Guide to Dogs provides advertisement listings to responsible and reputable Breeders of pure bred dogs and, while there is certain criteria that must be met in order to be listed here, we cannot recommend, nor do we endorse or support any one of these listings. (For more information on selecting a breeder, see the articles on the main Breed/Breeders section: Information for the Potential Puppy/Dog Buyer.)
In addition to the Breeders listed here, the Breed Clubs generally include listings of member Breeders on their web sites and, if not, then a listing can usually be obtained either by e-mail or telephone. We do not randomly add Breeders to any listing. All Breeders listed have requested to be included either via a general link or paid advertising.
If a young pup is not an absolute requirement for you, then considering the adoption of a dog from a rescue organization or shelter is strongly recommended. Each individual breed section on the Canada's Guide to Dogs web site includes listings of Rescue Organizations specific to the breed. In addition, Breeders occasionally have young adults available and many also take in rescued dogs. To learn more about adopting a rescue dog, please see the Rescue Organizations & Shelters section of the Canada's Guide to Dogs web site. This section includes several articles and general information along with listings of shelters and rescue organizations that are not breed specific from across Canada.
Note to Breeders:
Canada's Guide to Dogs is pleased to provide a free general link to websites of responsible and reputable Breeders of pure bred dogs. In addition, several paid advertising options are now available. Details can be found under the Advertise Section of the Canada's Guide to Dogs website.
The purchase or sale of any purebred dog is strictly between the buyer and seller. Accuracy of information for all advertisements is the sole responsiblity of the advertiser and Canada's Guide to Dogs cannot be held responsible for any misrepresentation.
