How do you know?

I am on the hunt for our second Sheepie puppy. I have made contact with about 5 breeders all over the middle USA. All say good health, guaranteed, raised in a loving home, etc....how do you know for sure? We found our last Sheepie via a friend and our girl was fabulous! We really lucked out. I know you can't go by price. Tips?

There are litterally dozens of answers to your very question. My personal 2 cents
is to go to a couple dog shows and talk to some people. If nothing else you get
a better feel for what is out there. You can go to the oesca website and look at
breeders there - it's a place to start. Those breeders are supposed to be bound
by breeding standards set by the club. Some will disagree with me, but at least
it is a starting point.
Then when you find someone you think is a potential breeder for you - come here
and check them out. We may have already covered them in a past thread.
Remember to check out all the tests they 'say' they do and ofa certs etc- but you
will read more about that stuff in the getting a puppy area.
Chime in here everyone--
