  1. Ensuring the health and well-being of the breeding animals and their offspring.
  2. Avoiding inbreeding and genetic disorders by responsibly selecting breeding pairs.
  3. Providing proper care, socialization, and training for all animals involved in the breeding process.
  4. Avoiding overbreeding or producing more animals than can be properly cared for.
  5. Being transparent and honest with potential pet owners about the breeding practices and lineage of the animals.
  6. Supporting responsible pet ownership and promoting adoption from shelters and rescues as an alternative to breeding.
