Check a Breeder Before You Pay

A simple 5-minute system to spot red flags before you send a deposit.

Most breeders look legit. Many aren’t. Avoid losing hundreds or even thousands to the wrong breeder. 

PUPPY TIP: Start with your breed’s AKC club directory—it’s the most reliable place to begin your ethical breeder search.

Spending money on a puppy? Make sure you’re not buying a problem.

Start with a quick $9 check before you invest your time and money.

It’s a step-by-step framework you can use immediately to:

​

  • Screen breeders in minutes

  • Spot red flags most buyers miss

  • Decide who’s worth deeper research

 

Start with a quick check.
If they pass, go deeper.
If they don’t, move on — no time wasted.

An Objective, Third-Party Review

Ethical Clarity for Your Puppy Search

Our Due Diligence Concierge packages focus exclusively on breeders listed through each breed’s official club—the organization recognized by the AKC as the official governing body for that breed in the U.S. These directories are curated by the breed community and generally reflect recommended ethical breeding practices, maintain transparent health testing, and prioritize long-term canine welfare. We do not locate puppies through marketplace sites.

Like a home inspection before a major purchase, Puppy Due Diligence provides an objective, third-party review of breeder information—helping you interpret findings, assess risk, and understand realistic options before committing.
