PUPPY TIP: Start with your breed’s AKC club directory—it’s the most reliable place to begin your ethical breeder search.
Planning to spend $2,000–$5,000 on a puppy?
Start with a quick $9 check before you invest hours or send a deposit.
Most breeder websites look convincing at first glance.
The 5-minute check gives you a simple framework for evaluating what’s actually there—so you can quickly spot red flags and decide whether a breeder is worth your time.
It’s designed to be fast, practical, and based entirely on what you can see yourself—no guesswork, no overthinking.
If a breeder passes, then it’s worth going deeper.
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.
