Check their professional references. If they can't or won't furnish any, they're not reputable.
The best company is the one that works with you so that you train your dog. I recommend checking with your dogs breeder. The local kennel club can also be a good resource.
One may get a Newfoundland dog from local pet stores and local breeders. It is also possible to get a Newfoundland dog from a long distance breeder, but this would require communication between you and the breeder. You may find them doing a website search.

My thought and I really think Im right on this one, sorry you cant you HAVE to know the breeder. So Sorry guys : (
Once you have decided which type of dog is right for you and your household, it is time to find the right dog breeder. Avoid the pitfalls of breeders that are only out to make a profit, by learning to identify what makes a dog breeder reputable.Why you need a reputable breederFinding a reputable breeder is extremely important. Often, poorly-bred dogs can experience health problems throughout their lifetimes. These are usually genetic diseases that arise from poor breeding practices, like inbreeding. In addition to health problems, these dogs can also have temperament issues that can result in a dangerous or ill-behaved dog. This is often the result of improper socialization at a young age and can take years of training to correct.Finding the right dog breeder is important, so you can avoid the problems and costs associated with a dog that has a genetic disease or poor temperament. How to identify a good breederThere are a few basic requirements that your potential dog breeder should meet. The first step is to meet with the breeder and check out his or her kennel facilities. Just talking with the breeder should allow you to get a feel for his or her motivations and attitudes towards breeding dogs. Any kennel facility should appear sanitary and not overpopulated. Make sure the breeder is only focusing on one breed of dog. A sure sign of a 'backyard' breeder is that he or she is breeding many different dog breeds. It is important that both parents of a litter are located on-site. Spend time with the parents and the puppies to gauge the temperaments of all the dogs. Make sure the breeder provides you with a signed health guarantee for the puppy. In addition, if you are not going to actively show or compete with the puppy, a spay and neuter contract is also needed. One of the best ways to know for sure that a breeder is reputable is to get a referral from a local kennel, another breeder or another owner of one of the breeder's dogs. This a great way to know other people's experiences with that particular breeder.Finding the right dog is sometimes hard, but a little work and research can pay off greatly. By choosing a reputable breeder, you are decreasing the chance of buying a puppy with health or temperament problems. Any good breeder is sure to work hard to match your household with the perfect puppy.
get two dogs << Oh, wise one. How did you know? You're a genius!
Someone can get a hunting dog from a breeder that is known for breeding and selling hunting dog breeds, including breeds such as Rottweilers and Dobermans.
This will depend upon the kennel you are looking at purchasing from. A reputable breeder that has just a few puppies and is devoted to the breed would be a great place, although you'll pay a premium for a dog from a good breeder. A better place to get a dog is from your local shelter, pound or humane society. You can ask for help matching a dog's personality with the care and environment you can provide. Also, if you are interested in an older dog, you may be able to get one that is house broken, leash trained and has basic obedience training.
You already can see he is merle. Unless you are color blind I dont understand the nature of the question since with all respect a good look at the dog and you will see the color. One good recomendation is to take a good look and search in pitbull sites to find one with the same color and read what color the breeder says the dog is.
The only way to tell if a dog is purebred is with papers from an honest breeder. (Disreputable breeders will falsify papers, or use one of the many new "pet" registries, such as the UKCI, APRI, Continental Kennel Club, etc.) You can take a good guess at his breed based on his appearance, but you will never know for sure unless he's from a registered litter.
Pitties are a wonderful and very loving breed. If you are serious about getting one, I would suggest looking at pitbull rescue leagues as opposed to a breeder. Also check shelters. There is no such thing as a reputable breeder. Just type in pitbull rescue and your city, state or province. Good luck!
As a proud owner of a purebred Rottie, I can tell you that PRICE isn't always the factor in getting a quality dog, but it usually is. More importantly, you want to buy from a breeder who makes you fill out an application before owning one of these magnificent animals. They should want to know your living situation- do you have kids, pets, cats, how big is your house, etc, etc. Sound strange? For a reputable breeder, that is absolutely paramount. If they are willing to just "sell" you one without asking you questions, run the other direction. And stay away from newspaper ads, craig-list, etc. My breeder makes people "apply" in advance and they are placed onto a waiting list. Based on precisely what type of dog you are looking for (family/copmpanion dog, farm dog, working dog) and what sex, a puppy is then selected FOR YOU from the most recent litter; a dog that displays traits early on that will most likely fit exactly what you want. DO YOUR RESEARCH. I'd be afraid to pay less than $1000 for a good, purebred Rott from a breeder.
