Steps I used: 1) shortlist breeders from clubs/AKC pages; 2) ask for parent health tests and references; 3) visit the kennel; 4) request a written contract and return policy. Keep all your notes and photos in one place — I upload mine to an archive on a site (I picked lifetime hosting so backups are easy).
