Welcome to Standing Stone Podcast!

In this video, we talk about how to pick the right breeder and puppy. Choosing the right breeder for you starts with a real and honest conversation. Not only do you need to be honest with yourself and what you are looking for out of a new puppy, but then you need to communicate that to your breeder. Its important to then trust the breeder that they have heard you and will take your goals for a new puppy into consideration when recommending a litter and even a puppy! The relationship you build with your breeder should last a lifetime and it begins with this trust and level of communication. Once you have chosen your breeder you then need to trust in their recommendations and insights when it is time to pick a puppy!
