What's a Breeder CO-OP?

A breeder co-op is a group of ethical, reputable breeders who work together to improve breed quality, uphold high standards, and better connect with existing and prospective owners. Unlike backyard breeders or traditional kennel clubs, co-op members share resources, use organizational, scheduling, communication, and health tools, and hold each other to a higher level of accountability and care. This model results in healthier dogs, stronger breeder relationships, and a better experience for puppy families. [Read More >]

Why choose a puppy from a CO-OP?

Choosing a puppy from a co-op means choosing a healthier, more balanced companion raised in a loving environment. Co-op breeders work together to ensure puppies are born from parents with stable, predictable temperaments and strong health backgrounds. These puppies are often more trainable, better socialized, and emotionally resilient.

Unlike single breeders (or kennel clubs), co-ops provide a strong safety net—sharing resources, support, and accountability to prevent any dog from “falling through the cracks.” When you adopt from a co-op, you’re not only choosing a well-raised puppy—you’re also supporting ethical breeding practices and investing in your local community.
