There is a business site on the Webrings listed below which sells dogs for profit. Be wary of any website which primarily promotes sales. Remember that AKC Championships can be manipulated: a breeder referring to numbers of Championships is bragging about quantity of breeding, not quality. Please read the Reputable Breeder page carefully before purchasing an animal.
