In Maine, a puppy is generally recommended to stay with its mom for at least eight weeks. This ensures crucial socialization and development time with their mother and littermates.
Differentiating between a backyard breeder and a reputable breeder can be a challenge, however, there are indicators. A reputable breeder will have extensive knowledge about the breed, prioritize health screenings and genetics, allow or insist on visits to see where the dogs live, and ask you numerous questions about your suitability as a dog-owner. Backyard breeders typically do not meet these standards.
Finding a good breeder in your area requires research. Referrals from experienced dog owners, veterinarians, or local breed clubs are great starting points. You can also check for breeders registered with recognized kennel clubs, such as the American Kennel Club.
The laws for dog breeders in Maine, like many states, are designed to ensure the welfare of pups and the integrity of breeding practices. The specifics can vary, so always verify up-to-date standards and licensing requirements with local Maine animal welfare authorities.
