For far too long responsible breeders have weathered unfair and misguided attacks, despite their tireless efforts toward preserving and bettering their breeds. At Good Dog, we stand in solidarity with ethical breeders everywhere.
Good Dog is on a mission to educate the public, support dog breeders, and promote canine health so we can give our dogs the world they deserve.
Behind every name on a dog's pedigree is a dedicated breeder who made sacrifices to better their breed — we believe that these breeders deserve respect and recognition. Our Good Breeder Bill of Rights is a pledge to celebrate and protect the efforts of responsible breeders.
If a breeder has entrusted you with one of their puppies, know that they would never send their dogs out to just anyone. Each puppy that comes out of a breeder's program is a small piece of their heart, hard work, and their legacy. Good Dog stands with you, the breeders, your dogs, and all the families you have touched. We are stronger together.
For generations, breeders were held in high esteem and applauded for their contributions to society. Unfortunately, in recent years, disreputable sources, misinformation campaigns, and a lack of public education has resulted in the unfair targeting of responsible breeders.
Responsible breeders are the backbone of the dog world, and they deserve better. They are the reason we have healthy dogs and, without them, the breeds we love so much would cease to exist. It’s time that breeders were once again recognized, acclaimed, and celebrated for their valuable contributions to society.
