How do you become a responsible and respectable dog breeder?

Im going to become a trainer for assistance dogs for the handicapped. I'm still doing research on four different breeds. I'm going to choose just one. But I want to make sure I breed them right. Is there any books or websights that are helpful? And what is a good way to make sure the puppies not trained to be assistance dogs get good homes? Should I have them do research on the breed before deciding they are able to buy one? Should I check out where the puppy will live?
What is propar vet care for new born puppies? How do I find good parent dogs?

have you checked with the associations you plan to "supply"? You would need to start with "tried and true" stock with the type of disposition required from whomever you are breeding for. This is a pretty expensive proposition! Good- really good, animals are expensive. I really think you need to do A LOT more research- and not from this site- from real books on the subject and from real people who are already doing what you want to do. Yes, it is your responsibility to find wonderful homes for any puppies that don't work out as assistance dogs. There is info on this too. I always thought that someone may breed dogs for this purpose, but then the pups were "farmed out" to individual trainers for the first year for their initial training period and then to professionals who trained them to do the work they would be expected to do. If, after the first year, the dog proves to not be the type that is needed, THEN they find a suitable home for it. I have friends who adopted a dog through a program that finds homes for these type of dogs. Good luck though!

Export Assistance

$49.95

"Born global" (BG) firms have attracted many researchers throughout the last decade. The emergence of this phenomenon initially posed a serious challenge to the validity and applicability of the traditional "stage" theory of internationalization; however, scholars have more recently been able to reconcile traditional and new theories into a single framework for studying the process of internationalization. This volume applies both network theory and knowledge-based theory to analyze export assistance in the context of internationalization of low-tech BG firms in developing countries (with an in-depth study of the apparel industry in Bangladesh). The findings that non-governmental network partners provide more useful advice than government agencies is one that may resonate through other countries, including developed economies. Government's more useful role is confined to the financial support and incentives that are provided to such firms. It is, however, the commitment to exporting that emerges as critical for performance, more so than export strategy, suggesting that enhanced export performance is to attract, reassure and motivate entrepreneurs in ways that strengthen their commitment to international expansion.
