Have been thinking of getting our first family dog for quite some time now - kids are old enough, between me and DH someone is almost always at home. I've seen lists of breeders on the KC site and looked at some breed websites/clubs. I'm thinking this could all take six months to a year to actually bring a puppy home. On the kennel club website there are no puppies advertised and I assume puppies due now or soonish will be reserved. Just wondering what your experiences were and the best way to approach this in general? I'm nervous about buying from any unscrupulous breeders etc. Any top tips to get the ball rolling would be appreciated (already reading in here tips for puppy training, crating etc). Kids are aware this could be a long process.....
