How we Screen
Our Breeders
Our screening process leverages both the latest technology and breeding experts to ensure our breeders are reputable and investing in the health of their litters.
ID Verification
We conduct a one-time verification, which involves the breeder submitting a government-issued ID, to establish initial trust.
Puppy Mill Screening
We screen all applicants against the puppy mill database, to ensure they are not a known bad actor.
Breeder Interviews
Many of our breeders are invited to an interview, where members of our team discuss details about their breeding programs.
Our Breeder Questionnaire
We’ve developed a comprehensive breeder questionnaire that covers essential aspects of responsible breeding, and our team discusses these topics with breeders during their interview.
We Get to Know You
We don’t stop at certification: our team regularly connects with breeders on the phone, over email, and through events to maintain a personal connection. We aim to know each of our breeders and their programs personally when they join our community.
We hope you’ll join us in our journey as we continue to learn, grow, and support breeders who share our dedication to ethical breeding practices.
