What is a preservation breeder?
A preservation breeder is dedicated to protecting and improving a specific dog breed by breeding only healthy, well-tempered dogs—not by following fleeting show trends, but by honoring the breed standard and preserving the traits that allowed these dogs to excel at the jobs they were originally bred to do.
These breeders carefully plan each litter using health testing, pedigrees, and a deep understanding of genetics and structure. Their goal is to produce dogs that are physically sound, stable in temperament, and true to type—minimizing the risk of inherited disease and reducing the likelihood of injury due to poor conformation across generations.
Buying a dog with a pedigree and documented health testing means you're getting more than a pet—you’re supporting ethical, responsible breeding practices that prioritize the long-term well-being of the breed. It helps ensure proper structure, sound temperament, and preserves the breed’s history, purpose, and future.
