In Illinois, similar to most states, a puppy should be at least eight weeks old before separating from its mother. This crucial time allows them to socialize and learn important behaviors from their mother and siblings.
Recognizing a reputable breeder versus a backyard breeder often lies in the details. Reputable breeders prioritize the well-being of their dogs, often have extensive breed knowledge, and show a willingness to answer all your questions. Backyard breeders, on the other hand, may emphasize profit over animal welfare and could be vague about the pet's lineage or health background.
To find a good breeder in your area, do your research. Websites such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) provide a directory of registered breeders who are bound by a code of ethics. It's always a good idea to visit the breeder, meet the puppies' parents, and review health clearances.
Illinois law requires dog breeders to adhere to certain standards. For example, the Illinois Dog Breeder Act mandates that breeders with five or more female dogs used for breeding must be licensed. Furthermore, breeders are required to keep breeding dogs in spacious pens and provide veterinary care.
