The reputable breeder is interested in producing
sound healthy dogs. He has devoted much time in
determining which dogs to use to produce the best
possible offspring. He is concerned with structure,
size, pedigree and disposition- the latter important for
continuance of desirable good temperament! He
endeavors to produce dogs nearest the accepted
Breed Standard as defined by the Berger Picard Club
of America.
The Berger Picard as all other breeds does have
some health issues that we, as breeders, are working
to eliminate by carefully selected breeding. Therefore
the hips should be checked for hip dysplasia and the
eyes yearly for inherited problems for any breeding
pair. A reputable breeder will provide you with the
results and not offer excuses of why they were not
done.
It is very common with this breed to be placed on a
waiting list for a future breeding. If you put a deposit
on a puppy, make sure you understand if any portion
or all of the deposit is refundable. Most breeders sell
their puppies and dogs with some type of written
contract. Contracts can be very basic, little more that
a bill of sale or more typically require you to spay or
neuter your puppy. Usually, a contract for a show or
breedable puppy will require you show the dog or even
to give back a puppy from a future breeding. Ask for a
sample contract, so you may study the wording and
terms carefully. NEVER sign a contract you do not
understand or are not completely comfortable with.
Many breeders choose a puppy for the new owners
rather than let the buyer choose from all the puppies
in the litter. Breeders may ask you many questions
about your lifestyle and needs in order to best match
personalities and temperaments.
Ask the breeder if your puppy will be checked by a
veterinarian, wormed for internal parasites,
vaccinated, and if the litter has been registered. The
breeder should provide you with this information as
well as the registered names and individual
registration numbers of the sire (father) and the dam
(mother), the date of the puppy's birth, the name of
the breeder, and the litter registration number.
The Berger Picard Club of America offers a Breeder
Referral Program. Breeders who participate in the
breeder referral program are listed on the BPCA
Breeder Referral List and can submit litter
announcements to the BPCA Puppy List.
The BPCA has made every practical effort to insure
that the breeders listed herein are reputable
individuals endeavoring to produce puppies of good
quality and health. They have signed the Breeder
Code of Ethics and have adhered to the policies
therein.
However, in fairness to breeders and buyers alike, the
BPCA does not endorse any particular breeder, and
cannot be held responsible for any purchase
agreement, guarantee, or understanding between
breeders and buyers. As with any purchase, you
should check references, visit potential breeders, and
evaluate options before you buy a puppy.
Complaints regarding breeders on the list can be
submitted in writing to the Secretary, Valerie Black.
The BPCA is interested in your input, and will remove
breeders from the list if cause exists.
