Yeah all good. You’re just what they call a backyard breeder.
You don’t have to be a pro breeder to not breed unethically. By that I mean breeding dogs that could carry a host of issues that you are unknowingly passing on because they have several positive physical attributes.
People like you are the reason genetic issues are compounded and breeds are diluted with issues. See the Labrador.

LOL. You make a lot of assumptions.
You're right though. All is good! Cheers.

A little over 20 years ado after being on several waiting lists for female pup sire by one of the top field retrievers in the country - only professionally bred.
My dog was awesome but DM struck her down in her prime—-/
NOW that genetic testing is so prevalent many backyard breeders are really good….

No bud, I asked and you answered.
You don’t title the dogs. You don’t test the dogs. You don’t health test the dogs.
You’re just breeding “nice” dogs.
Anybody breeding the two dogs in their yard is likely doing it wrong because the odds that your male and female are a better match than a nearby, health tested stud is incredibly low.
Anybody downvoting has never dealt with the devastating effects of hip dysplasia or the like. These things are easy to avoid with minimal give a frick.

I think if you’re actively genetically testing your dogs, hunt testing, field trial, you kind of elude the true backyard breeder label.
A backyard breeder is throwing together two dogs and selling the pups. An intentional breeder is testing temperment, biddability, natural instincts, genetics and a host of other things before choosing which dogs to breed.
This guy is a classic backyard breeder. If you have any doubt, look to the fact he still has two pups available that are 4 months old.
That means nobody is wanting to buy these dogs and he didn’t have a deposit list of people waiting for the dogs.
General rule in the non backyard breeder dog world is if the pups aren’t sold or highly sought after before the breeding occurs, you may not want that dog.
