Our concierge only points you to sources whose breeders meet our minimum criteria: breeding under binding breeding regulations, breed-specific health examinations of the parent dogs, and a protected kennel name. A written purchase contract is usually part of it too – have each breeder show you the documentation in person.
In Germany, these requirements are met above all by breeders organised in the member clubs of the VDH (German Kennel Club): health examinations of the parent dogs, protected kennel names and inspection of the breeding premises are mandatory there.
We show the external source in your dashboard only after the concierge check is complete. External listings are not an HonestDog assessment or guarantee.
