I agree with Lisa… while your list can be helpful, puppymillers have learned to look very reputable making it much harder to look at the website to determine. The bottom line is, no matter if they sell one breed or more, they can be a puppymill. And there are certainly some very legit responsible breeders with 2 or even 4 breeds! My entry into dog breeding/showing was a woman who had English bulldogs, her daughter had aghans and setters. If they don't have pedigrees and health testing info on the web page, I'd run. If they have it and you check OFA and find they falsified, or only maybe the current or some of their dogs have testing.. run. The rest they can fake or pretend but generations of health clearances generally aren't part of a puppymill.
Breeder Selection

Here is a link to what has been approved by the Basenji Club of America on how to select a responsible breeder. This is something that anyone that is considering a pup read…. and any breeder should be willing to answer all questions, along with "interviewing" you as a puppy owner.

Very nice, clean version of the page I have had up for years.

Yes, many of us have our own version or this version on our websites

This thread will be made into a sticky shortly, so we can have this information available for our members without having to go to another website.
