What is a backyard breeder?
This term covers those breeders with no serious interest in or knowledge of Siberian Huskies but who may own a bitch & decide that it would be nice to have a litter on the basis that it would be educational for the children or will help pay for the family holiday! If they happen to own a male themselves, they will use him and if not, they will use the nearest, available dog. Often no research will have been carried out into whether the dogs pedigrees are compatible & there will be no knowledge of possible hereditary problems & very little awareness of how to rear puppies successfully. This can result in a nice, healthy litter (more by luck than good judgment!) but can also result in puppies with health/temperament problems. Sadly such breeders will lack the knowledge/experience to provide any after-sales help to their buyers.
