Questdriven

I've dedicated this website to educating people about reputable breeders, how to find a reputable breeder, and for those considering breeding their dogs, the basics of what they need to know first. The information contained on this site is based off of several years' research, discussion with other dog lovers (including some breeders), and thought on the subject.

Though I made this site for educational purposes, I believe strongly in encouraging others to think for themselves through researching all sides of an issue and using common sense. (Something that we're seeing less and less of these days!) So, consider this site just that, part of your own research. Read, consider, and come to your own conclusions, dear readers.

I named this site "Questdriven" to reflect my views on this issue. I must admit I am no longer as admiment about it as I was when this site was firs created as my interests have broadened since, but I do still think that more people should be aware of what's involved in responsible dog breeding and why it's important not to support irresponsible breeding.

Please note that this site is not a step-by-step instruction manual, especially since I have little experience whatsoever with actual breeding. To reiterate, for those who wish to breed their dog, this is simply a place to learn the basics.

Please note: You will notice that on some articles on this site I make use of the "'B' word", but there actually is a correct, nonoffensive use for it so no I am not swearing. I do not make use of profanity. The word means, basically, a female dog, usually one that is intact, has not been "spayed". It's a term among both show-dog people and breeders alike.

Of course, I can't just make a website and leave my own dogs out, so I've included a page or two for my dogs and posted some photographs of them.
