A Responsible Borzoi Puppy Breeder:

Is a die-hard dog lover who breeds out of a sincere desire to perpetuate and improve upon the Borzoi dog breed.
Is very well educated about the breed(s) they offer and the breed's traits, both desirable and undesirable.
Adheres to a highly selective breeding program which focuses on health, temperament and conformation.
Breeds only healthy, conformationally correct dogs with sound temperaments that are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) or, if from another country, with that country's authorative dog breed registry.
Treats the dogs in their breeding home as members of the family, and does not constantly confine these dogs to crates, kennels or other pens.
Has breeding dogs carefully screened for hereditary and other canine disorders prior to breeding.
Whelps puppies indoors and ensures that puppies are well socialized, given proper nutrition and receive plenty of love and play.
Offers and stands behind a reasonable health guarantee.
Has a spay or neuter requirement on all puppies placed in pet homes.
Is committed to each Borzoi puppy for life, and will re-home or take back a puppy if you cannot fulfill your commitment for any reason.
Is happy to answer any questions you may have about the Borzoi dog breed or their dogs and puppies.
Carefully screens potential puppy buyers to ensure that Borzoi puppies are placed only in loving, responsible forever homes.

A responsible dog breeder may seem like an over-anxious parent on their child's first day of school. They will demonstrate a strong bond with their dogs and puppies, and a desire to assist you and remain in contact with you as your puppy grows and thrives in your loving home. Don't settle for anything less than this. Buying your Borzoi puppy is an important decision that will affect you and your family for many years to come. Make sure you do not acquire a puppy in haste from a disreputable source! Do your homework and spend the time finding just the right puppy from a responsible Canadian Borzoi breeder.

Avoid Buying Your Borzoi Puppy From:

A Pet Store.
A Newspaper Ad.
An online classifieds site.
The side of the road.
A parking lot.
A friend or neighbour, unless they are an experienced and responsible Borzoi dog breeder.
Any breeder with whom you do not feel 100% comfortable; you will be in contact with this person for the life of your dog or puppy.

Canada, like the US and the UK, has more than it's share of puppy mills. If you do not know what a puppy mill is, then please click here to read about this inhumane industry where dogs are treated as livestock, and puppies as merchandise. In addition to supporting an industry that thrives on the cruel mistreatment of dogs and puppies, by buying a puppy from a pet store, newspaper ad or online classifieds site is setting yourself and your family up for a heap of heartache.

Puppy mill puppies are generally more expensive than puppies from a reputable breeder, and can have numerous health, temperament and behavioural problems as a result of the conditions in which they were conceived, born and raised. Usually this results in taking on a family member with health problems that will cause ongoing additional veterinary costs, behavioural problems that may pose a hazard to your family, friends and neighbours, and, at worst, you may fall in love with a sickly puppy that will eventually need to be humanely euthanized.

The Borzoi dog breeders that are showcased on Dogs and Puppies Canada have undergone our own screening process, in an effort to ensure that we promote only highly reputable breeders, and keep puppy mills and backyard breeders from advertising with us. These breeders share our philosophy on what is a responsible breeder, and have agreed to abide by these guidelines for conduct.
